Skeeler route Sneek, IJlst, Nijesyl, Sneek (± 12.50 km)

This skeeler route is a round trip Sneek - IJlst. During the round trip Sneek-IJlst you have 2 options.

Option 1: you skate along the concrete path (formerly the shell path; this is now asphalted) of the Geau to IJlst. Here you have a beautiful view over the water of the Geau and pass the Terpensmolen, Houtzaagmolen De Rat, Houtstad IJlst and the Elfstedenfontein of IJlst.

Option 2: if you want to skate along nice and fast, take the concrete path next to the Rijksweg; Lemmerweg, Sudergoweg.

In IJlst, you go a little bit through the center of town (Eegracht or Galamagracht), where it's a little less 'fast' inline skating, but it's good to sit there - halfway through the route - on the terrace with a cup of coffee and enjoy the picturesque Eleven Cities town of IJlst.

From IJlst, you come after 'the chisel' back on a concrete path and via Nijesyl you enjoy on the way back to Sneek on the Alde Hemdyk the vast and watery farmland.

Lots of skating fun!
