Statue of Monk Uffing of Workum

Highlight • Monument

It is thanks to the monk Uffing that the city of Workum can be dated.

As a young man he was very fascinated by the monks of the St. Odulphus monastery in Hemelum. It was in the tenth century that he entered here and learned to read and write. Merk Later he registered under the name Uffing van Workum in the monastery in Werden (near Essen), founded by the Frisian apostle Liudger. This makes it clear that Workum has existed since the tenth century.

Commissioned by the city of Workum in 1997

Old Harbor of Workum

Highlight • Structure

As the name suggests, the Fietselfstedentour is a tour and not a race. It is precisely this fact that makes the whole thing so interesting. A maximum of 15,000 cyclists ride this tour through the 11 cities in Friesland (NL) once a year on Whit Monday. The whole thing is basically like a folk festival, because every cyclist is celebrated in every place and there is music, food and drinks everywhere. But beware, you have to register online in December of the previous year and if you have not already successfully completed the tour 5 times, you will be entered into a lottery pot and you have to hope that you will get a starting place. You will then receive an email at the beginning of January. The stamp card usually comes in the mail after Easter. I can only recommend the tour because it is simply different and also leads through incredibly great surroundings. At the end there is always an order, which is redesigned every year.

Rode Klif Monument

Highlight • Monument

The basis for the elevation in the landscape that you see here is the result of advancing glacial ice in the Pleistocene. The ice brought with it rocks from Scandinavia that were deposited here in present-day Friesland. The cliff itself was created later, by wave erosion from the Zuiderzee. The Red Cliff is 10.35 meters high. At the highest point you will find a monument in memory of the Battle of Warns in 1345.
