Sights

When you think of Friesland, you immediately think of a number of attractions such as the Elfstedentocht, Skûtsjesilen or Fierljeppen. Indeed, these are events with a long and a legendary tradition. They have thus assumed almost iconic proportions and are of great importance for the image of Friesland.

But Friesland has many more interesting and important attractions, some of which are also widely known, but some are also much less known. For example, the eleven fountains that were realized in 2018 in the context of Leeuwarden Cultural Capital. These fountains have since become a popular destination. View and experience all eleven by bike or by car.

Or think of the magnificent Woudagemaal in Lemmer. Think of it as the ultimate bad weather facility in Friesland. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, and with good reason. It's called a cathedral of steam. This is certainly true when the pumping station is put into operation at high water levels. We hope to regularly inform you about this via the events menu. We would also like to touch on the hundreds of medieval churches and monastery chapels in this introduction. Piece by piece silent works of art and echoes from a distant past.

Actually, there is too much to mention. Take a look around in the summary below to which we will soon add a few special museum attractions.
