Franeker

The city of Franeker is one of the eleven cities of Friesland. It is located about 10 km west of Leeuwarden on the Van Harinxma Canal. Franeker received city rights in 1374. The city is most famous for the orrery, built by Eise Eisinga in his own living room.

Sexbierum

Sexbierum is a small town famous for its contraction of the words sex, bier (Dutch, beer) and rum. In history the town is mentioned as Sixtebeeren (1322), probably derived from the pope Sixtus II (257 - 258) and the old Frisian word "bere", which means house.
