Akkrum is a village near a small river connected with
the most important lakes in Friesland. Akkrum is a part of the municipality
Boarnsterhim. That is a small area in the middle of Friesland were
the nature, with a lot off sightseeing and a lot of culture, wich
you can also see in the many musea there are. Before the offical Frisian
Championship Mastclimbing we play a typical traditional
game. In the top off the mast there are all kind off small prices
hanging in a sort off wheel. We are helping the people who cannot
climb throug drop down the wheel. Especially for small children is
this fun, because they get also a price.
Akkrum located at the beginning of the known Torfroute, making it an excellent starting point for a beautiful route. The name Akkrum is the first time in 1350 on record (Ackrom).
The population at that time lived from breeding, fishing, trade and crafts. Because of the unique location of roads, waterways and along the railway line (built in 1868) flourished on industry and trade. Akkrum is because of this privileged position today a renowned tourist resort.
