This cycling route takes you through the heart of the Gaasterland region. It feels like a completely different Friesland. You could be forgiven for not recognising it, against the backdrop of gently rolling hills and age-old woodlands. Standing on one of the three ridges along the IJsselmeer lake (the only ones in the country), you’ll have beautiful panoramic views all the way to the horizon.

Gaasterland is one of the four very diverse areas of the National Landscape of Southwest Friesland. In fact, much of Waterland van Friesland is a designated National Landscape. Southwest Friesland earned this title because of the possibility of experiencing four different landscapes all in one day. Gaasterland is one of them.

This cycling route takes you through the heart of the Gaasterland region. It feels like a completely different Friesland.

Gaasterland is one of the four very diverse areas of the National Landscape of Southwest Friesland. In fact, much of Waterland van Friesland is a designated National Landscape. Southwest Friesland earned this title because of the possibility of experiencing four different landscapes all in one day. Gaasterland is one of them. If you’d like to learn more about the history of the National Landscape
and its fauna, the National Landscape visitor centre is the place to be: Mar & Klif. This is also the
departure point of this cycling trip.

Along the way, you’ll be surrounded by beautiful woodlands one minute, and then suddenly meet up with the IJsselmeer lake. This wonderfully varied route will also let you discover charming villages such as Oudemirdum and picturesque Molkwerum. The Wyldemerk is an ideal spot to take a break, as it’s the Netherlands’ first dragonfly reserve.
