Tips

In Burdaard, they felt it was time for a monument for Maarten van der Weijden.
The long-distance swimmer attempted the Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Tour) in 2018 to raise money for cancer research.
But in Burdaard, he was too exhausted to reach the final town, Dokkum. By then, he had already swum 163 kilometers and spent 55 hours in the water...
In 2019, he tried again, and this time he succeeded in swimming his ultimate victory! It was an emotional event that drew the attention of the whole of the Netherlands.
Artist Hans Jouta created the beautiful sculpture, "Carried on Hands," free of charge.
