    Tips

    Here, along the shore of Lake Tjeukemeer, stands the statue of the Suskes sisters. Where the lake now lies, the sisters had a farm. One hot summer evening, it caught fire. Because the adjacent ditch had dried up, the sisters fought the fire with buckets of fresh milk. But the heat immediately caused the moisture in the milk to evaporate, while the milk fat fanned the flames. Panicking, the sisters called out each other's names, "Tsjûke and Marchje." This, according to legend, is how Lake Tjeukemeer got its name.

      This route along the Tsjukemar is varied, long sections are planted with beautiful summer flowers.

        A great section - totally relaxing and apart from a few walkers there was nothing going on.
