Wat kun je verwachten?

One day is obviously not enough to discover all the beauty of this area of Southeast Friesland. But that doesn't matter. Then you have a very good reason to come back again. That's an instant delightful prospect.

You're not going to see big lakes with the sails of sailboats, but mainly a multifaceted landscape from forest, heathland and peat bogs, to meadows, estates and sand drifts.

You drive along the old canals with their locks and very photogenic little bridges. Also very pretty are the little churches and belfries in typical Frisian villages.

It is a beautiful setting in which wayward peat diggers and the Frisian nobility played the leading roles. The rich landowners once laid out this part of Friesland - for their own pleasure and amusement, of course - with numerous estates and woodlands. You can thank them for that now, it is truly enjoyable in this beautiful part of Friesland.

Tip: when you get to the end of the route - at regional shop De Gelder - be sure to step inside. De Gelder has been voted the very best regional shop in Friesland. Don't miss it.

Day package 't Andere Friesland, ZO-Friesland

On the date you booked, drive to the route's start location 't Andere Friesland, in Beetsterzwaag.

Take a seat in the beautiful garden or in the atmospheric, historic restaurant to enjoy coffee or tea with a homemade treat. Unless otherwise indicated, you will also get your packed lunch there for the road in the car. Or your confirmation will include the address where your lunch is reserved that day.

Before you actually get into the car, the route description starts with an invitation for a walk through Beetsterzwaag's Hoofdstraat. The description gives you information about some of the many national monuments in this street.

The route by car takes you through the various wooded estates, past stretches of heathland and sand drifts. It is beautiful driving along the former peat canals and through some characteristic Frisian villages. Along the way, you get to experience a bit of 80-year war history at one of the original entrenchments.

Almost at the end of the route, you can choose, or drive into Beetsterzwaag again, but this time from the other side. You might like to have some good food and drink at Salie at the end of the day.

The other option takes you a little further, including past a very old place with historic bell tower and ends at the De Gelder regional shop in Tijnje. Both choices are recommended.
