Tourist Information Joure

Een fietsroute door de Friese Meren van 57 km waarbij weidse vergezichten over water en land voorbij komen, maar ook de bossen van Gaasterland passeren de revue. Combineer je fietstocht met een uitstapje naar Museum Joure, het Museum Sloten of het Woudagemaal in Lemmer dat op de werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO staat. Onderweg passeert u de Vaste Burchtkerk van Wijckel waar het praalgraf van Menno van Coehoorn zich bevindt. Uiteraard lenen de vlecken (dorp met marktrechten, maar zonder stadsrechten) Joure en Lemmer en Elfstedenstadje Sloten zich uitstekend voor een tussenstop. Proef dan vooral de streekproducten bij lokale bedrijfjes en restaurants.
