A bit bumpy here and there. But it's a nice paved and quiet bike path. A nice change from racing through Boornbergum.

Note the number of stork nests

Drawbridge at the city entrance of Dokkum

Dokkum's town hall is located on the Zijl, the former sea lock, and was built between 1607 and 1610. It features a beautiful carillon.

The location of today's drawbridge on the way to the center of Dokkum was originally one of four gates to the fortress of Dokkum.

Installed as part of the art project "Hidden Past" following the redevelopment of Dokkum's city center. The cast-iron shell-like shape features the contours of the old city walls. The city's coat of arms, with moon and stars, is depicted in the stainless steel countershape. Sunlight shines through the shell's cutout, forming a kind of sundial inside the cast-iron shape.

The water tower in Lippenhuizen was built in 1932 by the I.W.G.L. and the Bredasche Beton Mij. The water tower is 44.25 meters high and has two water reservoirs of 300 m3 each. It has a tent roof of copper (light green due to corrosion) with eight sides.
