Heerenveen, Oranjewoud, Wolvega

At the crossroads of the Heeresloot and the Schoterlandse Compagnonsvaart, Heerenveen emerged as the first peat canal village in our country. Nowadays Heerenveen has grown into a cozy city, especially enjoyable for sports enthusiasts. The cycling route takes you past Frisian villages, including Oranjewoud. At the location where former governors had a beautiful palace built, the fine Oranjewoud country estate is situated now. Get off your bike at the viewpoints Rottige Meente and Tjeukemeer to enjoy a typical Frisian view. For a tasty break, stop at the nicest restaurant in the area: Mediterranean restaurant Ben Lagerhuis in Wolvega.
