The Snip is an octagonal windmill of the ground sailor type that serves as a polder mill. The mill is located in It Heidenskip, close to the town of Workum. It was restored in 1977. The upper shaft of the Kolthofpolder mill in Oosterbierum, which fell over in 1972, was used.

The blades have a flight of 15.30 meters; the blade shape is Old Dutch. The scenic value of the mill is very great.

The mill's auger broke down in 2009. After the auger was replaced in November 2010, the Snip is again able to drain the polder independently.

The mill falls under the management of the Mill Foundation Súdwest-Fryslân.

As the name suggests, the Fietselfstedentour is a tour and not a race. It is precisely this fact that makes the whole thing so interesting. A maximum of 15,000 cyclists ride this tour through the 11 cities in Friesland (NL) once a year on Whit Monday. The whole thing is basically like a folk festival, because every cyclist is celebrated in every place and there is music, food and drinks everywhere. But beware, you have to register online in December of the previous year and if you have not already successfully completed the tour 5 times, you will be entered into a lottery pot and you have to hope that you will get a starting place. You will then receive an email at the beginning of January. The stamp card usually comes in the mail after Easter. I can only recommend the tour because it is simply different and also leads through incredibly great surroundings. At the end there is always an order, which is redesigned every year. Guys sign up...
