Location
People have been seeking refuge here since the year zero. Initially, to escape the high tides of the Wadden Sea, which could flood deep into the Groningen countryside. Nowadays, to find peace and inspiration. The Pieterpad
The Basecamp is situated right on the first stage of the Pieterpad. After setting off from Pieterburen, you’ll walk across the Maarhuizen wierde after about 10 km. You can extend your route by walking the prologue before the main stage; a 10 km ‘warm-up’, during which you can also dip your feet in the Wadden Sea. This brings the total walk to 20 km.
From the Basecamp, you can walk back to Pieterburen the following day or continue on to Winsum railway station (4 km), Sauwert railway station (15 km) or Groningen railway station (25 km). You will receive information about the routes after booking.
