Walking along the city Stavoren, one of the Frisiant Eleven Cities
You will take a walk along the IJsselmeer during this walk. The route is about 4 kilometers long. The IJsselmeer came to existence through the damming of the Zuider Zee with the “Afsluitdijk” (dike). It is the largest lake of The Netherlands with a surface of 1,100 square metres. You will walk from Molkwerum to Stavoren. Stavoren is a Hanseatic city and has about 996 inhabitants. A Hanseatic city is originally a collaboration organisation of German cities around the Baltic Sea. Later several Dutch cities joined this organisation, such as the Frisian cities Stavoren, Bolsward and Hindeloopen.
