There are many places to enjoy from the vastness of the unique salt marsh area at the Wadden Sea coast to the virgin forests in the east of the province.
Salt marshes
The salt marshes at the northern coast between the seawall and the Wadden channel are the last remaining natural pasture in the Netherlands.
Lauwersmeer
The Lauwersmeer area received a third place in the contest for the most beautiful place of the Netherlands!
Reitdiep valley
The Reitdiepdal is the oldest man-made landscape in Europe and developed as a result of the course of the Hunze river that connected the city to the sea.
Scenic areas
The province of Groningen has over 7,500 hectares of scenic areas, a number of which are accessible by the public. Wonderful for cycling or walking tours.
Leekstermeer
The Lettelberter Petten is a fenland that developed as a result of the digging of peat. The petgaten (moors resulting from peat-digging) thickened after 1920. The village of Nuis has pastures and wooded areas, inhabited by various species of birds and plants.
Zuidlaardermeer
The Zuidlaardermeer is a natural widening of the Hunze river in Drenthe, and therefore was not created by humans.
