Description by the author

Deze populaire fietsroute door het hart van Friesland is gemaakt in de vorm van het cijfer 8. Onderweg steek je maar liefst 5 maal het water over met een veerpontje.

Wegbeschrijving

Deze fietsroute start bij de TOP (Toeristisch Overstap Punt) van Earnewâld, daar kun je gratis parkeren of je boot aanleggen.

Vanaf daar volg je de aangegeven knoopputen. De route voert je langs de waterkant van Nationaal Park naar het eiland De Bird, om uiteindelijk in watersportdorp Grou uit te komen,

Vervolgens fiets je via de dorpen Akkrum, Nes en de Veenhoop teug naar het Nationaal Park, om weer in Earnewâld te eindigen.

Het bijzondere van deze route is dat je onderweg 5 keer met een pont het water oversteekt. Check de vaartijden van de pontjes voor vertrek!

Je kunt deze route op ieder knoopppunt starten, handig is ook het Toeristische Overstap Punt in De Veenhoop.
