Cycling routes in Groningen

Cycling routes in Groningen take you through a province of peace, wide open space, and sweeping views. You ride through open polders under big skies, along dikes and canals, and across vast farmland, with characterful villages and ancient terp mounds along the way. In nature areas such as the Lauwersmeer region and along the Wadden coast, you’ll find silence, plenty of birds, and panoramic views that are typical of Groningen.

The city of Groningen is also a great starting point for a bike ride, with routes that take you from the city centre into the surrounding countryside in no time. Thanks to the strong network of cycle paths and cycling junctions, cycling in Groningen is perfect for both a short loop and a longer day trip.
