Frisian Eleven Cities tour

Once in your life, you must have ridden or sailed the ''Elfsteden'' route. You will find nowhere such a varied route as the Elfstedentocht, a worldwide renowned Frisian heritage. The Elfstedentocht on skates is the first and thus the oldest tour along all eleven cities of Fryslân.

Apart from the traditional Elfstedentocht on skates, nowadays several tours are organised along all the Frisian ''Elfsteden''. The Cycle Elfstedentocht on Whit Monday is the biggest example. For more than 100 years, around 15,000 participants have been cycling the Cycle ''Elfsteden'' Cities Tour on Whit Monday. The route of this 235-kilometre ride starts and finishes in Bolsward. To complete the tour, participants must get all the stamps at the various stations and reach the last finish control in Bolsward no later than 24:00. Besides the Cycle Elfstedentocht, there are also editions on scooter, tractor, canoe and old-timer.
