2+2 for you
The bureau for tourism Friesland Holland has launched a new holiday formula: 2+2 for you! It concerns 5-day Discovery Holidays which offer easily affordable cycling and boating holidays full of variety.
The holidaymaker will stay for four nights (2+2) in two different hotels, hostels or luxury Bed & Breakfasts. The suitcases will be transported by the Travel Service of Friesland Holland. In case of a breakdown, the Friesland Holland Assistance will immediately take action so that within 90 minutes you can be on your way again. The luggage service and the assurance to continue one’s trip are included in the price.
It’s an experience
The accommodations where you stay the night have been selected based on their appeal. They are located centrally in one of the holiday regions of Friesland or other areas of the province where there is much to be experienced. The taker of a 2+2-holiday will stay two consecutive nights in one place and the next two in a different location. From these accommodations the attractive regions around the hotel, hostel or Bed & Breakfast are explored by following routes in loops not unlike the shape of a clover leaf. The individual sections of the routes are not repeated and therefore provide plenty of variety!
After the second night, on day 3, one cycles to the next accommodation by following a route through a charming region with many attractions. The holidaymaker is free from any worries regarding the luggage as the Friesland Holland Travel Service will transport this to the next accommodation. After two nights in the second location the traveller will journey back to the location of the first accommodation, the start address where, if applicable, the car can be collected.
Programme
The bureau for tourism Friesland Holland offers you the opportunity for a 5-day cycling trip on the extremely varied, 200 kilometre long Farmstead route. For two nights you’ll stay in a rural hotel in the southern half of the Zuidwesthoek (Southwest Corner) of Friesland and two nights in a former city farm in the heart of Bolsward.
The first two nights you’ll sleep in a beautiful and cosy rural hotel near Balk or St. Nicolaasga, on the edge of Gaasterland. This hotel serves as a base from which you discover Het Lage Midden, an area rich in lakes and canals, also the gently sloping and wooded Gaasterland, the stunning coast of the IJsselmeer and ‘Eleven Cities’ Stavoren, Hindeloopen and Sloten, and optionally Workum. You could also ‘do’ Workum from your hotel in Bolsward. The next two nights you’ll stay in a rural hotel in the Bolsward area. There is also an option to stay in a former city farm in the centre of Bolsward which was converted into a small hotel.
*In case the accommodation in Bolsward is fully booked, an alternative hotel in Sneek would be an option.
