EXPERIENCE THE ICONIC ELFSTEDENTOCHT
The Elfstedentocht (Eleven Cities Tour) is not just a journey through the Netherlands – it’s a deep dive into the rich history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes of the country. Whether you’re an avid cyclist or a nature enthusiast, cycling or sailing the 250 km route is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Friesland, known for its world-renowned heritage, has hosted this legendary event since the first informal races in the 16th century. With the last official Elfstedentocht on ice taking place in January 1997, this route remains a source of pride and tradition for the people of Friesland.

CHOOSE YOUR PACKAGE WITH FRIESLAND HOLLAND TRAVEL
Friesland Holland Travel offers a range of 3- to 8-day Elfstedentocht packages, catering to various levels of adventure and comfort.

CYCLE THE HISTORIC ELFSTEDENTOCHT ROUTE
The Elfstedentocht is a unique experience, no matter how you travel. Whether you cycle, sail in a boat, or drive through the historic cities, each part of the journey brings something different.

Cycling through Friesland offers the chance to explore ancient mounds (terpen) along the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, while cycling along the forests and cliffs of Gaasterland by the shores of the IJsselmeer.
Take a stop in centuries-old, romantic towns to sample local delicacies or relax by the shores of the tranquil Frisian lakes.
Make a detour to Leeuwarden, the European Capital of Culture in 2018, and enjoy the vibrant cultural scene.

THE RICH HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF FRIESLAND
The Elfstedentocht is not just a sporting event; it is a symbol of Friesland’s culture and history. The tradition began in the 16th century when people skated between the 11 Frisian cities in a single day. The official 200 km skating event, which became a symbol of Dutch winter sports, was first organized in 1909. Although the last official Elfstedentocht on ice took place in 1997, Friesland Holland Travel offers daily Elfstedentocht experiences, allowing you to relive the spirit of this historic race, regardless of the weather. These tours typically start and end in the southern part of Friesland for practical reasons, but the spirit of the Elfstedentocht lives throughout the region.

ELFSTEDENKRUIS (ELEVEN CITIES CROSS)
The coveted Elfstedenkruis (Eleven Cities Cross) is awarded to participants who complete the route within the given time, serving as a badge of honor for anyone who takes part in this legendary journey. Whether you’re taking the trip as a competitive skater or a recreational cyclist, the Elfstedenkruis marks your achievement. Only those who complete the route and collect all 11 stamps within the designated time frame receive this prestigious award. Designed in 1909, the Elfstedenkruis is a Maltese cross featuring the Frisian coat of arms. Since it was recognized by the royal family in 2009, the cross also includes a royal crown, making it a unique and valuable symbol. The Royal Association De Friesche Elf Steden has issued more than 56,000 Elfstedenkruizen since 1909, making it one of the most iconic medals in Dutch sports.
