Note: for the most scenic route, first walk around the church in a clockwise direction. From the church, enter the street 'De Streek'. You'll find this street to the right of the house at Tsjerkebuorren 31. Follow this street until you reach a narrow shell path between the water. At the end of this path, turn left and continue the route towards node 36.
