Sports and Fitness 

The province of Fryslân and the city of Leeuwarden offer a variety of sporting and recreational activities. The Frisian countryside, rich with its famous lakes and forests, are challenging for all kinds of outdoor sports like sailing, rowing, canoeing, windsurfing and (mountain) biking. To Frisians, the favorite sport in wintertime is ice-skating in the countryside (indoor skating facilities are also available).
