Discover Elfstedenstad IJlst and its surroundings

IJlst (or Drylts in Frisian) is not only one of the famous 11 cities, but also a 'wood city'. For many years, tree trunks were processed here by the legendary wood trading companies Oppedijk and S.O. de Vries. The iconic wood sawmill known as the Rat is a lasting reminder of those days. IJlst is also known for its characteristic 'overtuinen' waterside gardens, where the Overtuinen fair is organised each year: a fair featuring historic décor along the canal. IJlst is the third Elfstedenstad to be visited during the Elfstedentocht and the tour takes you straight through the small town over the Geeuw.
