Cycling from Appingedam to Loppersum

The flat landscape of Northeast Groningen seems to be specially made for beautiful cycling trips. You have endless views that are only occasionally interrupted by historic places. You just have to go cycling there!

Appingedam
The starting point of this route starts at the parking lot at Blokstad, a little outside Appingedam. Here you can park your car and get on your bike. From here you can reach Appingedam in no time. In this historic town you can take nice boat trips, but you can also admire the medieval architecture in this city by bike. A true feast for the eyes. From here the route takes you to Loppersum.

Maritime Delfzijl
Then it is time to set course for Delfzijl. You cycle a bit along the coast of the Wadden Sea. Here you can get a breath of fresh air in peace and quiet before cycling back into civilization. In Delfzijl you can visit the harbor. The city has grown into an important industrial port in recent decades, so there is plenty to do in the port.

Mills in Northeast Groningen
Mill lovers are not forgotten on this route. On the edge of Appingedam you cycle past the De Eendragt mill hull. This mill was built in 1802, but today only the remains of the mill can be seen. Before you cycle into Loppersum you will pass another mill: the Stormvogel. This grist and husking mill was built in 1849. The mill was restored twice and due to good maintenance the mill can still run.
