Cycling route The hinterland of Heerenveen

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.
