Picturesque Streets of Woudsend

Highlight • Settlement

From the point in this highlight, the church and mill form a beautiful ensemble. The Midstjittje should also be walked along the entire length because the individual houses are decorated very individually. Definitely worth seeing! 😍

Today we went on a bike ride with friends from Woudsend to Heeg. The ride from Woudsend to Heeg was quite relaxing, along wide bike paths, as you'd expect in the Netherlands.
There are plenty of places to stop for a break here. A cute little village with a great marina and campsite.
