Hiking is a popular pastime in Friesland. That'll come as no surprise, with such a beautiful landscape. What better way to experience the National Landscape of Southwest Friesland and the Frisian lakes. There are more than 1000 kilometres of hiking paths in the cleverly laid out hiking network through panoramic landscapes, past lakes, along woodland paths and the rolling scenery of Gaasterland. Call into one of our tourist information centres to pick up a map of the hiking network, and map out a beautiful route of your own choice with ease. Or find other inspiration there for a lovely route!
