Exploring the North in the Netherlands

The Provinces of Groningen and Friesland in the Netherlands lay at the northern most coastline of the country, with ferries connecting to the Islands Ameland and Schiermonnikoog.

Quaint face bricked villages with cobblestone roads are speckled over the countryside. The Dutch use their favorite way of transport from one town to the other - their bicycles - mostly happily chatting away with their buddies on two rolling wheels. The girls are predominantly tall, strikingly beautiful with long hair flying in the wind.

Others move around with their boats through the narrow water channels. Draw bridges make way as they approach.

The Dutch enthusiasm for artful flower arrangements is visible at every window and even the smallest garden is blooming in full splendor. The sun tints the country side in the most vivid colors, so that even ordinary cornfields contrast beautifully with the blue sky.

Infinite are the bicycle roads on the Dykes, which invite long rides with an unobstructed view to the Wadden Sea. One day the weather is peaceful, the next day it will change and show a harsh face.

HOLLAND: Lauwersoog / Lauwersmeer (port & lake), Groningen [HD]

Lauwersoog is a small village and fishing port in the northern province of Groningen. It is best known as the departure point for the ferry to the island Schiermonnikoog.

Nieuwe Robbengat is part of the Lauwersmeer, a man-made lake in the north of the Netherlands, on the border of the provinces of Groningen and Friesland. The lake was formed on 23 May 1969, when the dike between the bay called Lauwers Sea and the Wadden Sea was closed. It is noted for birdwatching.

Not far from Lauwersoog is the village Pieterburen. The village is known for the start of the Pieterpad, a long-distance hiking trail to Sint Pieter in the extreme south of the Netherlands.

Wadlopen 10-10-2015

Mudflat hiking (Dutch: Wadlopen) is a recreation enjoyed by Dutch, Germans, Danes, and others in the Netherlands, northwest Germany and in Denmark. Mudflat hikers are people who, with the aid of a tide table, use a period of low water to walk and wade on the watershed of the mudflats, especially from the Frisian mainland coast to the Frisian islands.[1]

Van der Valk hotel Groningen-Westerbroek

Hotel Groningen-Westerbroek is located in a rural environment and offers luxury and quiet for both tourists and business travellers. Situated along the highway between Groningen and Hoogezand-Sappemeer, the hotel is an excellent accomodation for business, relaxation, and pleasure. By car you can reach the city of Groningen or the train and bus station within 10 minutes. The landscape of Groningen, with its many empty areas, breathes an atmosphere of peace and quiet. Along the dykes and the Waddenzee sea there are great places to take a long walk. The seal rehabilitation centre in Pieterburen is worth a visit. In the hotel's direct surroundings you will find the Zuidlaardermeer, a large lake where you can go sailing or fishing. As you arrive at the train station of the city of Groningen, you will immediately recognize the ultra-modern Groninger Museum, a remarkable design by three famous architects.
