The province of Friesland has its own language. It is hard for the other Dutch to even understand it.
There are over 50 lakes, so watersports are popular there. A few sports are typical Frisian: skutsjesilen (sailing in Frisian boats) and Fierljeppen.
And then there is the 11-cities-iceskating race.
Lets start by visiting the capital of the province first: Leeuwarden.
