Terrace route through the Bourtange fortress
Bourtange, Jipsingboertange, Sellingen
Explore the surroundings at a relaxed pace, leaving you enough time to sit down at various outdoor cafés: that is the ideal terrace route! En route, you cycle through a varied landscape with green paths, small villages and historical sites such as the Fortress Bourtange. In Fortress Bourtange, you cycle through a beautifully restored fortified town with a unique star-shaped structure. The atmospheric streets and historical buildings make this a special place to look around You can take a break on a terrace and enjoy the characteristic atmosphere strolling through the centuries-old streets. Although the Groningen countryside is known for its openness and strong winds, you will also discover wooded areas during this route. The village of Jipsingboertange, for instance, lies like a green ribbon among the trees. In this region, heathlands used to be reclaimed as part of labour relief, a tough job that has left its mark on this unique landscape.
