STEENWIJK (NL) – Landgoed De Eese is a medieval estate of some 800 ha on the border of Friesland, Overijssel and Drenthe. It is largely owned by the family Van Karnebeek. A small part of this estate belongs to the Dutch National Forest Service.
This is unique in the whole world, you will only find this in the Frisian Woods: bicycle tracks straight across magnificent areas of natural beauty, far away from motorized traffic and perfectly signposted.
Also in the villages and towns of this holiday country, separate tracks and traffic lanes are laid out for cyclists, everywhere! Most Frisians go to work and to school by bicycle. The Frisian administrators too, take the bike, if possible, for a working visit for instance. This matches very well the ambition of Friesland to be the most abiding province of the Netherlands.
E-tourism
As a tourist in Friesland, you can hire everywhere an electric boat or bicycle — and recharge! — to move from one accommodation address to another, or to explore the surroundings of the accommodation address. The travel organization of the Frisian Holland Tourist Office, www.frieslandtravel.nl, offers hundreds of arrangements with the option ‘rent e-boat’ of ‘rent e-bike’. Very soon an ‘e-car’, a car driven by an electric motor, will be added to the renting program. The car is still being tested in view of sufficient range (minimum range of 200 km!) and user-friendliness as well as safety. Charging points are already established, thanks to the province of Fryslân!
