Bench with a view of Lauwersmeer

Highlight • Viewpoint

The nicest spot we found around here (better than the viewing tower a little further away). A comfortable bench with a beautiful view over the vast landscape of the Lauwersmeer.

What a nice day again 😃
A beautiful route, with diversions and unexpected heavy showers and a surprising lunch.
