Features:
Makkum is a pretty village on the banks of the lake IJsselmeer. It’s one of a series of Friesland coastal towns on the Wadden Sea. The best places to run Makkum are on the canal-side paths, and the marina area. Use our 11 km mapped route as a guideline to create your own or do in sections.
There are three parts to this run. Starting in Makkum center, the first 3 km are our & back on the canal paths: Turfmarkt & Kalkovens. Then, do ~1.3 km out & back cycle path headed north along the water. The next section is around the marina, where there are numerous path options, with nice views of the water and many boats. This loop can be ~3-4 km, depending on how you feel. For the full 11k, run out to the Beach Resort Makkum, where there are canal paths, pretty houses, and house boats.
