Did you also follow the TV series? Where Andre van Duin and Janny van der Heijden followed the route of the Elfstedentocht by boat and visited the beautiful characteristic Frisian towns?
When people think of Friesland, they often think of the Frisian lakes, the Elfstedentocht, Fierljeppen (pole vaulting), ice skating, skûtsjesilen, the Wadden Islands. Friesland has so much more to offer.
