Related Provincie Friesland Favorites Tips

Favorite thing: A good part of this province is country side.
I just love the farmhouses with text showing in their roof, like this one we saw near the village of Balk.
Using a dark roofing tile it says : Immer moed, which means as much as : always courageous.
Some of the farms have a building year, others a name or a motto.

Favorite thing: The province of Friesland has, like the province of Groningen, several nice little churches.
Most of the times they are hidden in trees and not always near a village.
Like this one we saw in a neighbourhood called "Duurswoude".

Favorite thing: The landscape is very special - the weather conditions often cloudy and rainy - but ideal for sailing.
Infrastructure is perfect - the harbours top .
It is only 300 km's from Ghent/Belgium and wort while to spent a super sporty weekend.

Favorite thing: The province Friesland (Fryslân) has a lot of lakes and canals. It's a nice area to make boattrips. In this province I went to a sailing school. Later we rented a few times a sailingship to make trips.

Many years my parents had a motor cruiser in Friesland. I liked it to visit them for one or more days. One day at the water was very relaxing and felt like being there a week.

In Friesland are the so-called skûtsjes, huge sailing boats, originally made for transportation. Nowadays these skûtsjes are transformed into boats fro making weekend or weektrips. There are also the spectacular annual skûtsjes-races.
