Cycling
The Province of Fryslân appears to be an excellent place to cycle. A combination of peace, space, nature and culture will attempt to grab your attention simultaneously. The hotel offers cycling maps that are specially constructed for guests that like to create a route specifically adjusted to their own wishes. These maps are available at the front desk.
Tulip Inn De Valk Franeker has the disposal of a small amount of rental bikes. Therefore, we would like to ask you to contact the Zandberg’s family for group reservations and special wishes.
