50.0 km
Download route guide

The first three are close together. These small cities all have ports on Lake IJsselmeer.

Along the way you will see the new signs for the Elfstedentocht bicycle route. If you are cycling the route in the clockwise direction, follow the green signs. If you are cycling the route in the anticlockwise direction, follow the blue signs. 

If you are looking for somewhere to stay, Harlingen is a lovely place to spend the night!
