Route Summary
Ever since the early 90s of the last century, Promotor has been setting out the so-called Tank Bag Tours. You understand that the name still comes from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on roads with a roadbook in the tank bag or router roll. The 173 ANWB Promoter TankTasTocht (TTT) were scanned by Henry ten Dam and signed by Leon Stolk in Mapsource and later placed as a Track in a .gpx file. These have been made available through the MrGPS website with the approval of the ANWB Promoter so that everyone can enjoy it. The 1st TTT is from 1992, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them on the road. Also, if necessary, I have further spaced the start point and end point of the route to avoid navigating directly to the end point, and I added the POI files from the start and end point just like a possible stop.
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.
Thanks to Henry, Leon, MrGPS and Promoter.

RouteXpert Review
This TTT starts in Harlingen * in the province of Friesland and goes over mainly beautiful roads via the province of Overijssel to the province of Drenthe where the end point is in Nijeveen. * Harlingen is a city in the Dutch province of Friesland and the capital of the municipality of the same name. It is located west of Franeker and north of the Afsluitdijk on the Wadden Sea. Harlingen is one of the eleven Frisian cities. (Source: Wikipedia).
After the start you first go to Franeker and then turn to Sneek, where you drive between the Frisian Lakes ** to the lunch location in Bantega. After lunch you will drive along the Worstdijk past De Tjonger or Kuinder ***. Then you go in the direction of Steenwijk and Havelte to end this Tank Bag Tour at the end point in Nijeveen.
** The Frisian Lakes is a tourist area in the southwest and middle of Friesland. There are 30 lakes in the area and especially in the summer, the area attracts many water sports enthusiasts.
The largest and most important Frisian lakes are the Groote Brekken (Grutte Brekken), Sneekermeer (Snitser Mar), Tjeukemeer (Tsjûkemar), Heegermeer (Hegemer Mar), Fluessen (Fluezen) and Slotermeer (Sleattemer Mar). Most Frisian lakes are located in the so-called Southwest corner, but also the lakes at Grouw, Eernewoude and Bergum are usually counted as part of the area. (Source: Wikipedia).
*** The Tjonger or Kuinder is a river that runs from southeast to the south of the province of Friesland. The Tjonger and the Opsterlandse Compagnonsvaart are part of the Turfroute and are 42 km long. (Source: Wikipedia).
Because I have not (yet) driven this route myself, this route gets 3 stars.
