Netherlands Friesland Bolsward

20050904 03 Bolsward by Sjaak Kempe

The town is founded on three artificial dwelling hills, of which the first was built some time before Christ. Bolsward was a trading city with a port in the Middle Ages. The middlesea connected the port to the North Sea, but this connection was lost when the middlesea was reclaimed from the sea. As a trading city, Bolsward was granted city rights by Philip the Good in 1455. Bolsward was also a member of the Hanseatic league. It was the center of the former municipality named Bolsward, before that was merged into Sudwest Fryslan. Several annual festivals are celebrated in Bolsward.

Once a thriving port city, this lively town now boasts rich history, an array of fun cultural events, and a nice atmosphere.

I have already recommended to several of my peers! I am really impressed. Saludos! Thanks for making my trip something amazing. The platform is EXTRA easy to use, and very intuitive. Being as graphic with the actual route in google map format, photographs of each location, etc makes it much easier than other travel management tools.

We had a fantastic trip and RoutePerfect was an ENORMOUS help in our planning process! The planning was a breeze through RoutePerfect. even when we had to make a few hotel changes, it was all handled VERY smoothly. I could not be more pleased. We will definitely use RoutePerfect.com again when planning our next big trip! Thanks again, I love your site and recommend it unreservedly.
