This cycle path between Sneek and IJlst passes, among other things, the polder mill de Terpensmole and the sawmill de Rat. Whether it was for pumping away water, sawing wood or grinding grain, mills had an important place in Friesland. Of the 1400 mills that the province used to have, there are still around 130 in operation today.

A very nice cycle path between IJlst and Sneek. Beautiful meandering along the Geeuw. This route leads past the sawmill De Rat.
