Hiking

The Dokkumer Grootdiep is a former estuary that extended all the way to Dokkum, providing the city with a direct connection to the sea. It used to be the link between the city of Dokkum and the open sea, and now serves as a vital part of the shipping route to Lauwersmeer lake via the Súd Ie.

What a beautiful place, a place with history and the beautiful 11-city tour town as a turning point!
