美しい景色。IJsselmeerを見渡しながら休憩するのに最適な場所です。

The Reformed Church "De Fontein" dates from 1790 and was built on the remains of a 13th-century tuff stone predecessor. Later, in 1926, a second nave was added to the north side. As a national monument, the church stands out for its unique features, such as the cast bell, the pulpit, the baptismal font, the stained-glass window, and the organ. During the summer months, the church opens its doors on Saturday afternoons to visitors who wish to explore or enjoy a quiet conversation.

The former town hall is truly beautiful! From the side, it initially looks like a church, but from the front, you can see the typically Dutch brick gable, richly decorated with lion heads.

De Nijlânnermolen is a polder mill in Workum. Fully functional and restored.

The cemetery in Mirns features a belfry with a hipped roof. In 1943, the old belfry was destroyed by a crashing American bomber, killing the aircraft crew. A new belfry was built in 1953.

Laaksum, or Laaxum in Frisian, is a tiny fishing port on Lake IJsselmeer, once known for its flounder and eel fishing. After the construction of the Afsluitdijk in 1932, fishing virtually disappeared. Now, this idyllic spot, with a few houses and a former fish processing shed (now a restaurant), attracts many cyclists and day trippers.

The six-meter-high Oudemirdumerklif formed during the penultimate ice age, when Scandinavian ice sheets pushed up the land, leaving boulders in their wake. The Zuiderzee's wave action ultimately formed three cliffs in Gaasterland. The site is home to some 200 plant species. Badgers and numerous waterfowl also live here.

It is worthwhile to step of your bike and watch the "brugwachter" do his job. They collect the fee with a "klomp" wooden shoe on a fishing rod :D
