Hiking in and around Groningen¶
Some sites¶
-
Wandelnet.nl met app en knooppuntenrouteplanner is allicht de manier om mooie wandelingen uit te stippelen...

-
From Pieterburen: Combine a loop with the walk to Winsum. Winsum is served by a train and bus, but for Pieterburen you need a bus from Winsum.
-
Stage 2 from Winsum to Groningen, 22km (GPX)
Winsum is served by train so this is easy to organise. Bus 65 also goes to Winsum.

Pronkjewailpad¶
This is an ever changing route. Every month there is also a "stage of the month".
- The West route starts from the city.
It is not very practical though as it requires registration etc. to get access to the routes.
