The surrounding area of Bed and Breakfast Zathe De Spieker consists of meadows and villages, now become quiet, but with a rich cultural history. This history is evident in the numerous buildings, such as churches, private houses, farmhouses, so called (ice) inns, etc.
The village centres of Lutkewierum, Bozum, Rien and Oosterend are well-preserved and well worth a visit. You can get to the villages on foot or else by bicycle along church paths, towpaths and the notorious Slachtedyk.
From the farm you can also see the meadow bird areas of Skrok and Skrins (nature reserves), which are open to visitors.
Itens lies in the heart of the Frisian Eleven Cities Skating Marathon route.
The towns of Franeker, Sneek, IJlst, Bolsward and Leeuwarden can also be reached within 20 minutes. There are also places to eat in the surrounding villages (Restaurant Noflik Easterein at Oosterend).
