Kuiertocht Hartwerd - Oldeclooster Hiking trail

Once near Hartwerd stood one of the largest and most important monasteries in Friesland. Now, the names of the farms Monnikehuis and Bloemkamp, and the street name Oldeclooster still remind you of this time. In the past, the monks walked meditatively along this monastery path, step into their footsteps and hike this route full of cultural history through the landscape.

Curious about how it used to be? In the garden shed of the information center at Oldeclooster 8, you'll find a model of the monastery. Additionally, along the way, you'll encounter 4 information panels that provide an insight into monastery life.

A "kuiertocht" is a short walking route. So, it probably won't surprise you that in Frisian, "wandelen" translates to "kuierje". You can easily combine a leisurely stroll with an activity in the area, or choose to embark on another leisurely stroll.

Note: From junction 67 to the information point, the route passes through a farmer's field where dogs are not allowed.
