Route Summary
As the name suggests, a tour along the Frisian ports. This is the 2nd in a series of 43 Endangered ANWB routes. These have been published in the Promotors between April 2015 and September 2016.
My second review of a route that I did not make and did not drive (yet). I checked all route points and placed them neatly on the road. I have also set the starting point and end point of the route a bit further apart to avoid navigating directly to the end point. Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.

RouteXpert Review
The Havensteden route introduces you to picturesque cities along the IJsselmeer coast. The route leads through the varied Frisian landscape. The area in the triangle Bolsward, Makkum and Harlingen belongs to the Greidhoek, a meadow area with ancient terp villages. Lakes, forests and cliffs determine the appearance of the southern part of the route. The lake district belongs to the Low Middle: a 'depression' below the sea level in the Frisian landscape.
The forests in the vicinity of Balk are in Gaasterland. The 'gaasten' (heights in Frisian) arose in the ice age, when the land ice pushed the area upwards. Remarkably along the coast are the 'cliffs'. These originated during the time that the IJsselmeer was still Zuiderzee.
That sea could then go on quite a bit and hit whole stretches off the coast. Two fine examples are the Oudemirdumer cliff and the Roode Klif. (source: Promoter No. 04-2015; Endangered ANWB routes).
Because I have not (yet) driven this route myself, I have rated this route with 3 stars!
