The turning point of the Eleven Cities Tour is in Dokkum, the northernmost city in Friesland. After completing their mark on the waters of the Zijl River, the skaters return from here to Leeuwarden, the start and finish location.

Dokkum is a place of pilgrimage and, because of its connection to the sea via the canals, also a former trading town. Today it is a tourist destination with many lovely places to stop and rest, but also many highlights for interested visitors.
