The first bike ride takes you to Sneek, a town that was once surrounded by canals and fortress walls. Here you can visit the cozy center with the town hall and the Martini Church.

On the third day you go to Balk or Wijckel, not far from the IJsselmeer. You drive past Sloten, with its 700 inhabitants the smallest town along the Eleven Cities Tour. Enjoy the small village of Balk, as well as other charming villages and the typical Friesland landscape.
Overnight accommodation: Balk/Wijckl
Bolsward is known for its picturesque streets, but there are other idyllic places to visit on this day. Stavoren, for example, which is now very popular with water sports enthusiasts, and Workum should not be forgotten either. These places were all Hanseatic cities in the past.
Overnight location: Bolsward
Pass Makkum today, a village well known for its pottery. An important university was once located in Franeker. That's why you can still find an old student pub here, but of course there are many other sights. Here you can see the Renaissance-style town hall and the Coopmanshaus.
Overnight stay: Harlingen/Franeker
On the way we pass Franeker, a former university town. Dokkum is a relatively special town as the layout of the streets hasn't changed since the 1650's. It will certainly be noticed that Dokkum has always taken good care of its architectural and cultural heritage.
