About 90 kilometres of the route runs through Groningen and connects two unique nature reserves: the Lauwersmeer and the Dollard. The views are breathtaking. And then just hope for a tailwind.

We don't know how Ripperda (1682-1737) was referred to by his contemporaries, but what is certain is that he was no average Groninger squire. Sanne Meijer has put together a beautiful cycle route that takes you along traces of this squire. The route starts at Enne Jans Heerd.
