Hiking

Welcome to this beautiful Railrunner route in Friesland! Today you will take a beautiful walk of 16.8 kilometers from Station Workum to Station Stavoren. During this trip you will be amazed by the raw beauty of the Frisian landscape. You will also pass Hindeloopen, a place you don't want to miss.

Your hiking adventure starts at Workum station, where you are immediately surrounded by the characteristic charm of this old town. The route takes you along the Hylperdyk, where you have a breathtaking view of the vast IJsselmeer.

The route then leads you to the old marina of Hindeloopen, a hidden gem in the region. Here you can experience the tranquility and authenticity of this picturesque village, far away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hotspots. Take the time to stroll through the narrow streets and admire the traditional houses and boats.

After Hindeloopen you arrive at the beautiful Bocht fan Molkwar nature reserve. As a bird lover, this is a place you definitely don't want to miss. The area is home to a range of bird species, and you can admire them up close from the bird hide.

Eventually you reach your final station Stavoren, where you can take the train back home. But don't leave Stavoren immediately! First, stroll through the old streets, taste the local specialties and admire the historic architecture that bears witness to the rich history of this port city.

This 9 meter high lighthouse is located at the entrance to the port of Workum. The house next to the lighthouse is the last lighthouse keeper who lived here self-sufficiently. He passed away in 2020.

Old Harbour of Hindeloopen

Highlight • Historical Site

A walk here is definitely worth it. The harbor is really a hidden gem and a lot less touristy than other places in the region.

nice walk. but do yourself a favor and go through the old town of Workum

Translated by Google

Today is day 4 of this series. We have an extensive breakfast at the hotel and head out. Just after 12 we are already in Hindeloopen, about 2/3 of the day's distance. A very nice town! Here we walk around and have a drink and a simple lunch on a terrace. We continue to Workum. And that town is absolutely beautiful. Beautiful houses, beautiful center and of course the Jopie Huisman museum. A nice museum with a nice audio tour and short film about Jopie's life. And of course his paintings. Very interesting. There are a small number of beautiful restaurants in the center and we enjoy the warmth of the Workummers here. Another very successful day! One of the more beautiful routes!

How beautiful our country is. Today we enjoyed the green Friesland over the IJsselmeerdijk. It was chilly, but lovely sunny weather. A recommendation!
