Stavoren - Workum | Elfstedenpad Hiking Trail: Section 6
links three of Friesland’s eleven cities. You set off from Stavoren and make your way first to Hindeloopen and then to Workum.
On your way out of Stavoren you pass the statue of the Lady of Stavoren and the playful Fish Fountain. From high up on the dike that leads towards Hindeloopen you have a clear view of the former Zuiderzee inlet.
With its little bridges, traditional facades and sights worth seeing, the picturesque little city of Hindeloopen offers much to enjoy. Needless to say, a visit to the Schaatsmuseum is a must. This Frisian ice skating museum traces the entire history of the Elfstedentocht tour skating event, so there is plenty to admire.

The route takes you through the port where you can see the communal bench and continues on to Workum, one of the youngest Friesland’s eleven cities. You pass the mouth of the It Soal waterway, which runs into the centre of Workum, and the historical It Toarntje lighthouse. In Workum you have a chance to explore this vibrant little town, its distinctive pottery, the Jopie Huisman Museum, which features the life and work of the self-taught artist, and the inviting Merk market square with small cafe terraces.
Sights on this route
Stavoren (Starum)
Stavoren (or Starum as we say in Friesland) is very much the main city of the IJsselmeer, being enclosed by the lake on three sides. It is also the oldest city of Friesland, founded around 300 BC at a waterway, and gaining city rights in the 11th century.
De historische haven van Stavoren
Proef de sfeer van handel, visserij en pleziervaart. Stavoren heeft een unieke ligging omdat het aan drie kanten omringd is door het IJsselmeer.
11fountains Stavoren
De zee geeft, de zee neemt. Stavoren, ooit een rijke Hanzestad, kan erover meepraten. Overstromingen, zeehandelsoorlogen, een haven die verzandde: meermalen verviel de stad tot armoede.
Eerste Friese Schaatsmuseum
Het Eerste Friese Schaatsmuseum is te vinden in Hindeloopen, een pittoresk stadje gelegen in de Zuidwesthoek van Friesland, direct aan het IJsselmeer. In april 1983 opende elfstedenwinnaar Jeen van den Berg het museum.
Sint Gertrudiskerk Workum
De Sint Gertrudiskerk in Workum is een bijzonder monument van laat-gotische kerkenbouw. De kruisvormige opzet en de uitvoering als driebeukige hallenkerk zijn vrij uniek voor Fryslân. Ruimtewerking en lichtinval in het interieur zijn een belevenis.
11fountains Workum
Al eeuwen wordt het stadswapen op ‘De Waag’ van Workum ondersteund door twee leeuwen. Ze doen naïef aan en hun theatrale pose prikkelt onze lachlust.
Workum (Warkum)
Workum (or Warkum as we say in Friesland), is one of the famous Frisian cities that has enjoyed city rights since 1399. Located on the shores of the former Zuiderzee and bordering the Frisian lakes.
