Groningen, the far north with endless views of swaying grain, potato fields, rows of thick clay and tree-lined farmhouses here and there. Viewed from afar, the seawall draws a perfectly straight line on the horizon. Stately villas and tiny workers' houses give a glimpse of the recent past and hardships endured by locals.
Part of your journey takes in Pieterburen and the seal centre, though it’s even better to spot seals from the boat on your way to fantastic Schiermonnikoog. Delve into the enormous diversity of birds and nature on the Lauwersmeer and Wadden Sea. And combine it all with a stay in the lively university town of Groningen.
Watch local life from a terrace where history and culture go hand in hand, from the old Prinsenhof and beautiful station hall to the ultramodern Groninger Museum and Forum. All overseen by the A-Kerk and Martini Tower. Come cycle it, then end your tour with the highest compliment in the local dialect ‘Grun’: ‘Nait bad’
