Elfstedentocht Embroidery Hanging
Posted in Trips at 20:00 on 24 March 2025
On one of our previous visits to the Netherlands the good lady had, in a shop, admired a hanging embroidery featuring the eleven “cities” of the Elfstedentocht, five of which we subsequently visited last year. It has since been hanging in our home.
The eleven cities are from top: (coat of arms of Friesland,) Leeuwarden, Bolsward, Sloten, Hindeloopen, IJlst, Workum, Dokkum, Franeker, Stavoren, Harlingen and Sneek. I have recently posted photos of the italicised ones and we went to Sneek in 2017. Five still to go then.
