Walking route Lytsewierrum

(13.9 km)

A free round trip to times of yore. Just a quick journey back and forth. To a substantial church, a parsonage, a row of houses, a solitary farmhouse. A historically beautiful trip that is priceless. Only available in Lutkewierum.

Only to Lutkewierum
Sometimes, everything in life can be so clear and straightforward. There is only one path you can take. The road to the village Lytsewierrum, the Frisian name for Lutkewierum. Situated on a small mound in the Frisian landscape and surrounded by picturesque villages like Itens, Rien, and Boazum. A sign with the text 'Alleen naar Lutkewierum' (Only to Lutkewierum) guides you via a dead-end narrow road to the characteristic village square: the Buorren. At the end of this Tsjerkeleane, the road for cars stops. They can only turn right or continue as a walker or cyclist.

At the end of the Tsjerkeleane, you can walk around St. Gertrudis Church to the right, cross the bridge, and walk through the fields to Rien. In Rien, you continue straight to Itens, but instead of entering Itens, you turn left at junction 39, and from then on, you can follow the indicated junction route.
