Groningen

The terrain of Groningen ranges from sea-clay plains in the north to peatland and sandy ground in the southeast, creating an exceptionally open countryside shaped by water management. The province meets the Wadden Sea, whose tidal flats form part of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea system, while the Ems estuary marks its eastern edge. Groningen city is the regional centre, recognised by the Martinitoren, a medieval church tower that rises above its historic core. Beyond the city, old waterways, farm country and villages built on raised mounds reflect centuries of life on low-lying land. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Groningen.
