Walk Groningen, Garnwerd, Winsum

**Kilted Craanen** · 2nd June 13, 10:32 AM

Since today was (finally) a proper sunny day, I went on an afternoon walk. Started in Groningen (northern Netherlands) and finished in Winsum (a town north of it). Total about 15-16 km. Also passed through Wierum, Wierumerschouw (total amount of inhabitants around 30) and Garnwerd (total inhabitants around 450).

Authentic Groninger Roadblock

Great pictures! Very colorful and bright. It must have been a delightful walk. Don't know why, but they brought Charlotte Bronte's story, Villette, to mind. I especially enjoyed the Bovine Patrol. Thanks for posting.

Lovely pics, brings back fond memories of many past visits to Nederland.
I've got my KLM Flying Blue frequent flyer card, but nowadays I never seem to find my way to the outside of Amsterdam airport - my partner and I change planes there on our way to visit her family in Germany.

I vividly remember riding my recumbent bike on the polders in that part of Holland. One day I saw a large group biking towards me led by a striking lady. She stopped and we had a chat about 'bent bikes.

I remember at the time, wondering what rock star I had encountered, only to find out later that I had been speaking to Queen Beatrix.
