Very well maintained, cute little town with typical Frisian charm - so idyllic that it is almost unbelievable. Especially nice: walk along the canal, admire the brick houses with their gables and watch the boats sail by.

A follow-through tour designed by Matt, very easy and relaxed. The tour goes to Sloten, the smallest city in the Netherlands and one of the smallest cities in the world. The first few kilometers and the way back are less interesting as they follow a country road, but are unavoidable if you want to reach Sloten. Sloten has to be …

June 6, 2023,[NL] Radtour und Spaziergang in Lemmer und zum Woudagemaal
