Located in the north of the Netherlands, Heerenveen is well-known for speed skating. This quiet town in the Friesland province bears the distinction of having the quickest low-speed skating rink in the world. Thus, it is a haven for sports enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies who wish to try their hand at indoor karting or ice skating. Sports buffs can also visit the Abe Lenstra Stadion, which is home to the SC Heerenveen football team. Mountain climbing enthusiasts can stop by the Mountain Network Heerenveen as well.
Those who prefer to stay indoors can visit Museum Belvedere in Oranjewoud which displays the artwork of Frisian painters. Alternatively, you can take a walk around the baroque gardens of the Museum Park. The magnificent old estate gardens and the Grand Canal are some of the must-see tourist spots as well. Take the De Proefvaart boat tour if you want to soak in the sights and sounds of Heerenveen and get acquainted with local food and culture.
