A compact Frisian town in the Netherlands with a waterside setting and a café-filled centre, Joure serves as the administrative seat of the De Fryske Marren municipality. It has a local culinary tradition tied to its name: the keallepoat, a rye-and-honey pastry shaped like calf's legs, which early residents reportedly baked as an offering to a water spirit in gratitude for the surrounding waterlands.
