Scenic Villages On Biking Distance
Durgerdam And Holysloot
Why locals love it
Just outside of the city at the North side, in the middle of the cow fields, there is a couple of small villages with old houses, churches and a cute little harbor. The words picturesque and idillic seem to be invented for these places.

Why you should visit it
The biking distance of 8 km (one way from Central Station) to Durgerdam is definitely worth it. An additional 5km will bring you to Holysloot. Completing the circle via the East side (instead of the North, see map) shows you more of the city. In total this round counts 26 km. Might seem a lot, but remember we are the flattest country in the world.
Special tip
'De Oude Taverne' in Durgerdam is perfect for a break. Enjoy the contrast between the village and the city the terrace has a view on.
