| Friesland Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see i_2 Friesland (or Frisia) is the Netherlands northernmost province with a distinct character. The Frisians actually go back a long time and speak their own language, have their own culture and their own names. Male frisian forenames tend to end on an 'e', while family names tend to end on "sma", "stra" or "ga". Nowadays people come to Friesland for the countryside and the watersports. There are lots of lakes with lots of sailingboats and lots of little houses on the water (usually owned by Germans). While traveling around in Friesland, you'll no doubt see lots of Frisian cows, the normal black and white variety. Fries Stamboek was the first try at scientific cow improvement. Speed scating is big in Friesland. Scaters are heroes and if you happen to be in Thialf (Heerenveen) during a championship, go there and be amazed by the sheer fanaticism this sport elicits in the public. _________History Edit This [Add New] Oera Linda Book Edit This http://www.earth-history.com/Europe/Oera/oera-intro.htm World66 rating: [rate it] ___________Getting There Edit This The normal options apply here, which basically means that taking a train is your best option. There are frequent trains from Amsterdam or Rotterdam with connections every half hour and a possible change of trains in Amersfoort. It is also possible to take a train over Groningen, directly into Germany. Although originally it was planned that a railroad track was going to be laid over the Afsluitdijk, the dam that connects Friesland with Holland, in the end the government decided for a highway. If you want to travel over the Afsluitdijk, you will either have to go by bus, from Alkmaar, get your own wheels, or bike. Biking is an option, especially if the wind comes from the right direction. :::::::Bolsward Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Bolsward is one of the eleven cities of Friesland.
