The Eleven Cities Tour is a phenomenon deeply rooted in Dutch culture. This legendary ice-skating tour connects eleven historic cities in Friesland and captivates thousands of people every year. Although the ice-skating tour can't take place every year due to changing weather conditions, the tradition lives on as a walking or cycling event. The origin of the Eleven Cities Tour The first official Eleven Cities Tour took place in 1909, but its history goes back even further. As early as the 18th century, tours were organized across the frozen waterways between the eleven Frisian cities. These early tours were primarily intended to facilitate trade and communication during the winter. The tour only truly became popular when the ice was thick enough to support thousands of skaters. The first official tour in 1909 was a resounding success and laid the foundation for the traditions we know today. Since then, the Elfstedentocht has become a symbol of perseverance, solidarity, and a love of nature. © origin: Simonis & Buunk, Ede, Crowded winter landscape with skaters, Andreas Schelfhout, The Hague 1787-1870.

The route is well-marked, and there are plenty of opportunities to stop along the way and sample local specialties.
