Bicycle adventure: 140 young people discover Friesland!

This summer young people can look forward to a very special adventure: the traditional Friesland tour of the Evangelical Children's and Youth Work, which has been taking place annually in the fifth week of the holiday for more than 30 years. From 30. June to July 7, 2025 , up to 140 children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 18 are invited to explore the picturesque landscape of Friesland by bike. The aim of the tour is to offer young people a week full of movement, encounters and community, while cycling and tents through the beautiful nature, sailing on a sailing ship and numerous other exciting activities.

such as nordkurier.de, the tour is organized in small groups, whereby each group is accompanied by around ten children and accompanied by two experienced group leaders. The routes are age -appropriate and ensure that the young people experience both challenges and a lot of fun. So that everything runs smoothly, there is a central district that is at the side of problems, for example with breakdowns. The supervisors of this tour also take part in special weekend seminars to be optimally prepared.

an unforgettable experience

The participants have the opportunity to travel from a circular system from campsite to campsite. On one of the days, the groups enjoy a daily stage on a traditional sailing ship on the IJsselmeer, where two crews alternately take the young people with them. Paula Danielsen from Crivitz, who took part in this tour himself, describes her formative experiences and is happy to remember the wonderful time. "It's more than just a trip, it's an experience for life," says Paula.
