Sustainable boating
Stap into a canoe, grab your SUP board or get carried away in an electric sloop: Groningen from the water is a voyage of discovery through silence, nature and character. Paddle at your own pace over glistening ditches and winding canals. Or float carefree in a sloop past reed beds and characteristic villages. Sustainable boating means relaxed enjoyment. You hardly leave a trace, but take along all the more impressions. Discover Groningen in a quiet, green way.
