Bridges in Friesland
You will encounter several bridges on this route. With a canoe or sup, you can almost always sail past everything. And if there is a problem with a bridge or culvert, you get off to go klúnen. Do you want to sail the route with a sloop, for example? Then check out the information about bridges in the Watersport App of the Province of Friesland!
A tidy boat is a neat boat!
Of course, you never throw waste in nature. And if you come across litter on the water? Take it with you in your canoe or on your board. Nature will be grateful!
Waterway information
The largest part of the route is a waterway in the DM category, here boats with a draft of 1.3 m. and a height of 2.3 m. can come. This route is therefore also suitable for taking with an (electric) sloop.
