Pronkjewailpad

Walk right through hospitable Groningen

Looking inside that striking church. Tasting that authentic mustard. A bite of one of those old Groningen apple varieties. Groningen is full of enticing sights and businesses. For walkers of the hundreds of kilometres long Pronkjewailpad, all doors open wide. Everywhere you go, you see, hear, feel and taste Groningen's hospitality.

Walking adventure

From cheese dairies to carriage museums, from castles to maize mazes, from borgen to mound settlements: together, they make Groningen what is typically Groningen. You only really understand what that is once you’ve experienced it for yourself. The Pronkjewailpad is a walking adventure that links all these experiences together via a trail stretching hundreds of kilometres across the entire province. Choose the Northern Route, Eastern Route or Southern Route – or simply walk them all. In every village along the route, participants will receive a little something extra from one or more local businesses.
