About this experience

Are you planning a trip to Heerenveen, then you can have a lot of fun with this city walk. An Escape game and a city walk at the same time. 3 kilometers long and over 2 hours of fun for the family or a group of friends. Meanwhile, during this game, there is plenty of time to sit on one of the terraces. A city walk has never been so much fun. How is Abe Lenstra the best ever Heerenveen footballer? Heerenveen's Heertje disagrees. This gentleman suffers from megalomania, which is why he stole Abe's statue. ‘Only the greatest are worthy of finding me,’ he wrote in a local newspaper. Can you help us find him?
