Part of Netherlands
Groningen is spacious. The province's northern part, the Hogeland, is filled with quaint villages: small villages on hills that the residents once built against the water, with a church in the middle. Narrow, quiet roads run between them, leading to the Waddendijk.
Why cycle in Groningen?
- Wierdendorpen like Warffum, Pieterburen and Rottum, with medieval churches.
- The Waddendijk and the Lake Lauwersmeer, since 2003 a National Park.
- Few traffic and lots of air. The wind is your only climb, and that really counts.
- Around the Westerkwartier and along the canals you will also find gravel and cycling paths through the meadows.
When are you leaving?
From April to October. In the spring and autumn, the wind blows strongly: plan your trip with the wind in your back.
How do you get there?
By train to Groningen, or by car in about two hours from the center of the country.
