Tips

Pauline van der Waal

Hiking

The viewing platform on the Duurswoudsterheide offers a wide panorama over one of the most beautiful heathlands of Friesland. From this elevated spot you look out over vast heathlands, interspersed with fens and forest edges that show a different play of colours every season. A perfect place to stand still for a moment, take a deep breath and enjoy the peace and nature.
