Queen Rosanna, from Sweden, was staying in Pieterburen, on the 19th of juli 2006, at the Queen of Pieterburen. A bed and breakfast, place to sleep, holiday for all ages, an experience never to forget! Staying the night in this bed and breakfast (a place for young and old), be a fairytail Queen or King yourself, this bed and breakfast is full with theatre-cloths, wigs, crowns etc. Everybody comes along, for walking the Pieterpath, for a mudwalk on the bottom of the see, or just for a nice holiday, sleeping in the silence of the high north of the Netherlands, for shopping in Groningen, for a daytrip to Schiermonnikoog, stay the night in a bed of a Prinses! For a night, a weekend, a midweek, a week or even longer or only for a workshop, that's also possible. A hotel, a pension?

What to do in Pieterburen?? Mudwalking. Mud walking is an exciting and adventurous way to become acquainted with a unique nature reserve, the Wadden Sea, which is the largest continuous national park in Europe. Mud walking on the bottom of the Wadden Sea is possible because the shallows fall dry at low tide. The shallows consist of sandbanks, criss-crossed with trenches and gullies.

The ladies thought: Well Holland should have a long walkingroute, as many countries have already for ages and ages... and they walked from the north tom the south of Holland.
