Kuiertocht Warns
This walking tour through and around Warns takes you across historical ground.
Now it's a peaceful round, but in 1345 it was different. The Frisians defeated the invading army of the Count of Holland here in the marshes between Warns, Scharl, and Laaksum. The monument at Reaklif still reminds you of the Battle of Warns.
Wheelchair Accessible
This entire route runs on paved paths, making it easily accessible for people using wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers.
Kuiertocht
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. An overview of all leisurely strolls can be found here.

Rode Klif (Red Cliff) at Lake IJsselmeer
At the edge of Lake IJsselmeer there is a red cliff that is 10 metres high. It was formed during the last ice age but one when the land was pushed up by glaciers that advanced from Scandinavia. The forces exerted by the ice created hills in the landscape.
