"Heerenveen - speed-skating capital of NL?" Heerenveen by PeteNL
Heerenveen Travel Guide: 18 reviews and 38 photos
The town itself has some nice quarters, there is a whole new industrial and housing development, and it's close to a nice forest as well as the famous Frisian lakes.
It hosts a football club ... but most famous is it's speed skating rink!
The World Champion of 2002, Jochem Uijttehaage
This way the champions are welcomed: by skaters in traditional customs (and a horse-driven sleigh!)

The stadium has an athmosphere that makes the champions feel at home - you'll find them mix with the public for a chat... more travel advice

Ben vorig weekend naar het Allround EK geweest, en het was schitterend! Zelfs voor een Belgische schaatsleek als ik was het een heel interessante bedoening :-)
Great page and good info!
