スードウェスト-フリズランの天然記念物・トップ20

The Mirnserklif on the IJsselmeer is a popular spot for kitesurfers, kite flyers, and beachgoers. The cliff was formed during the penultimate ice age, when shifting ice from Scandinavia shaped the Gaasterland landscape. The Mirnserklif has been a favorite lookout spot for centuries. Until the 1960s, the cliff formed a single entity with the Rijsterbos forest. The wide road constructed at that time bisects the natural monument. To the left of the cliff lies a walking path called "Freuleleantsje," specially constructed for the Lady Van Swinderen, who lived at Slot Rijs at the time. A small dome has been erected there since 2023, and you can also enjoy the view over the water from the pavilion's terrace.

The statue refers to Fortuna, the goddess of fortune and patron saint of cities, families, and nations. The overflowing horn symbolizes the material prosperity of the fortunate person who encounters it. But the golden sphere constantly rotates on its axis, so that the water, like the influx of fortune, becomes an unpredictable force. The abundance that happens to be showered upon us can be taken away just as quickly by fate. Just look at the history of Sneek.

Perfect cycle paths in a great natural landscape, at its finest (!)

This is Friesland at its best: views over endless water from wonderful cycle paths. Enjoy your cycling!

The fish fountain in Stavoren is located very close to the train station and was definitely the most fun fountain we saw! The sun was shining, and there were benches in front of the fountain where I sat down with our dog, Bronco. Suddenly, I noticed my husband bravely taking off his shoes and socks and climbing into the fish's mouth to sit down inside! It was hilarious! Luckily, he wasn't swallowed or eaten and was able to leave the Stavoren fish fountain unharmed. The description of the fountain is also very fitting and thought-provoking.

This fountain is located in the Sneek city center canal, just behind the famous Sneek Water Gate, "De Waterpoort." I didn't find this fountain visually appealing at all; the colors were somehow too bright, it's hard to describe. The Sneek Water Gate definitely steals the show from the Fortuna Fountain!
