The old sawmill. Nice to see.

The centuries-old sawmill 'De Rat' is located on the Frisian Geeuw River between the towns of IJlst and Sneek. This mill was built in 1683 but is still in operation today. 'De Rat' means "the rat" in English and specializes in sawing pine, larch, and elm.

The current Martinikerk in Koudum was built in 1857. This hall church has a two-tiered tower and a constricted spire. Much of the interior comes from the previously demolished 17th-century church.

Woudsend is a village between Heegermeer and Slotermeer.

Harich is an old village in the wooded Gaasterland region. The village center is built around the old village church. The church, originally dating from the 12th century, has a simple exterior.

Gaasterland is a wooded area where foxglove, wood anemone, collared anemone, and wild garlic bloom profusely in spring. A special sight is the sand martin, which breeds here in colonies in self-dug cavities in sandy banks.

The 18th-century spider mill near Nijhuizum, also known as the Monnikenburenmolen (Monks' Mill), is notable for its unique thatched lower tower. Until 1935, it was powered by wind, after which it was diesel-powered. Thanks to restoration, the mill has been preserved and designated as a national monument and a reserve pumping station. Volunteer millers keep it running; it can often be visited on Saturdays.

A must for cyclists who like the vastness and the view to the horizon.
