Woudsend, Heeg, Koudum

The Fluessen is the second largest lake in Friesland. Around the lake, you will find various local farmers, each of whom grows his own products. During this cycle route, you will pass farms where grain and vegetables are grown and a fisherman who smokes eel. Stop off at the farms and take a look around the yard or take a local product home with you. The farmlands are interspersed with small villages and real water sports centres. In Woudsend, you can stop off at Grain Mill 't Lam. Every Saturday, miller Cees grinds the corn from which delicious bread is made.

The local farmers you meet on the way deliver their products to their surroundings, such as restaurant Omke Jan. At this 'Burgundian' meeting place, they use local produce for the most delicious (seasonal) dishes. And now that you know where it comes from, it tastes extra good!

Get on your bike and sample the Frisian countryside around the Fluessen.
