Bridges in Friesland
On this route, you will encounter several bridges. With a SUP or canoe, you can almost always navigate around them. And if there's an issue with a bridge or culvert, step off and walk if necessary. If you want to do the route with a boat, such as a sloop, check the information about bridges in the Watersport App of the Provinsje Fryslân!

Clean boating!
Of course, you never throw waste into nature. If you come across litter on the water, take it with you on your board or in the canoe. The nature will thank you!

Waterway information
The first part of the route (over the Aldfeart) takes you over a waterway in category E, where boats with a draft of 1.0 m can navigate. Once you turn left towards Easterwierrum, you end up on the Zwette. This is a waterway in category DM, where boats with a draft of 1.3 m and a height of 2.3 m can navigate. This route is also suitable for a (electric) sloop.
