friesland sportland
Fryslân is the sports province of the Netherlands. We have a rich sports history and many sports events are organised here every year. Think of the Sneekweek, a week of of skûtsjesilen (sailing competitions), or the PC, the most important and oldest sport classic of the Netherlands. But also the annual Elfstedentocht by bicycle and the Slachtemarathon are events you won't find anywhere else in the Netherlands.
