I decided to answer you in a New post!

The Elfstedentocht is a dutch tradition. In (Frisian: Alvestêdetocht) and its an almost 200 kilometer long skating tour on natural ice organised by the Royal Society De Friesche Elf Steden.

Because of the distance and because of its heroic character, the Elfstedentocht is also called "De Tocht der Tochten".
Leeuwarden, the capital of Friesland, is traditionally the starting and arrival place.

The Elfstedentocht was ridden for the first time in 1909 and is held a maximum of once a winter. The tour can only be organized if the condition of the ice permits. In total the trip was held fifteen times. The most recent trip took place in 1997.

Nice informative post with nice old pictures!

I wonder when there will be another Elfstedentocht with a lot of "klunen"..if we will ever have one..

I liked to watch the tocht der tochten on tv a lot!

ik hoop het ook maar denk dat het niet gaat lukken. Was wel grappig dat er iemand vroeg wat het is de Elfstedentocht.
