Explore Groningen East by bike using the numbered junction network
The Fietsknooppuntenkaart No. 5 – Groningen Oost (Cycling Junction Map No. 5 – Groningen East), published by ANWB, is an ideal tool for planning and exploring cycling routes in the province of Groningen, in the north of the Netherlands. Thanks to the extensive numbered junction system, this map allows cyclists to easily create their own routes and connect different paths according to their preferences or skill level.
This type of mapping is based on the principle of a numbered cycle network. Each major junction in the network has a number. By simply following the sequence of numbers indicated on the map and on the signs along the cycle paths, it is possible to create a personalized route. This system is particularly popular in the Netherlands, where cycling infrastructure is among the most developed in Europe.
The map covers the eastern part of the Groningen region and allows you to explore the characteristic landscapes of the northern Netherlands: vast polders, open meadows, dikes along the water, and typical villages. It also includes areas near cities like Groningen and Winschoten, as well as sections close to the German border, offering numerous opportunities for varied cycling routes.
At a scale of 1:100,000, the map provides a clear overview of the territory while retaining essential information for cycling tours. It shows all the LF (Landelijke Fietsroutes) routes, the Dutch national long-distance network, with distances between certain points. These routes are particularly popular for cycle touring and can be combined with the numbered junction network.
The map also includes various useful information for planning a cycling trip or holiday:
- tourist sites and museums
- campsites
- restaurants and rest areas
- road network
- gas stations
- ferry routes
These details make planning a stage or a longer trip in the region easier. The presence of ferries is particularly important in certain areas of the Netherlands where waterways abound.
Published by ANWB, the leading organization for maps and travel guides in the Netherlands, this map is part of a series dedicated to the different regions of the country. The collection gradually covers the entire Dutch territory for cyclists wishing to explore the country by bike.
Thanks to its compact folded format, this map is easy to carry in a handlebar bag or jersey pocket, while offering a large surface area when unfolded to view the entire region.
