Cycling between Tsjonger and Tsjûkemar
A cycling route through a piece of undiscovered Friesland, and certainly worth it. You cycle along lakes and canals and through the polder landscape between Tsjonger and Tsjûkemar created by peat bogs. Characteristic are the reed lands, tree walls and regional villages. Along the way you will see channels, canals and small pools of water that attract many birds. Furthermore, you will mainly find peace and space here. So this is the perfect environment to unwind.
Check the map for all stops along the way.
