Hiking
On either side of the Kleindiep there are two wooden benches in the shape of skates. They symbolize the turning point in Dokkum in the Eleven Cities Tour, which was last held in 1997. One skate indicates the direction the skaters come from, the other the direction they are going after they have reached the stamp.
