The Journey
Franeker
Step back in time in Franeker, one of Friesland's famed 'Eleven Cities'. Wander along picturesque canals lined with 17th-century architecture, including the iconic Town Hall. The undeniable highlight is the Eise Eisinga Planetarium, the world's oldest operating planetarium and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Marvel at this 18th-century astronomical wonder, meticulously tracking celestial movements from within a traditional canal house – a testament to scientific innovation and enduring craftsmanship.
Wieuwerd
Uncover the secrets of Wieuwerd, a quaint village harboring an extraordinary mystery. Descend into the crypt beneath the medieval church to encounter naturally preserved mummies, discovered centuries ago and resting undisturbed in their original tombs. Their existence continues to puzzle scientists and captivate visitors, making Wieuwerd a truly unique and intriguing destination.
Woudsend
Indulge in the tranquility of Woudsend, a charming village nestled amidst Friesland's serene lakes and waterways. Savor a delightful lunch at 't Ponkje, a restaurant housed within a beautifully converted church, where classic Dutch cuisine receives a modern twist amidst soaring arches and stained-glass windows. Afterward, admire Windmill "'t Lam", a fully restored and operational grain mill, showcasing the region's rich milling heritage.
Hindeloopen
Discover Hindeloopen, Friesland's best-kept secret and a gem among the Eleven Cities. Tucked away behind a protective dike on the shores of Lake IJsselmeer, this storybook village exudes a captivating blend of Volendam's charm and Giethoorn's tranquility, yet remains remarkably unspoiled. Stroll along cobbled streets, cross quaint wooden bridges, and admire elaborately decorated houses that narrate the town’s rich maritime history and unique Hindeloopen culture.
