Car Puzzle Route “The Grain Republic” in the Oldambt
Experience the Grain Republic and discover the story behind the battle with the water of the Dollard that lasted for centuries. Now the Dollard offers a truly beautiful experience. The UNESCO World Heritage site is a beautiful area for a walk and spotting seals.
Discover the story behind the stately farms in Oldambt. With springs filled with huge yellow rapeseed fields, and summers full of many hectares of waving grain fields. For those who can handle such spaciousness, all year long the region offers a therapeutic peace and quietness.
However, remember; all this beauty also had a dark flipside, namely the bitter poverty among the laborers.
The famous writer Frank Westerman wrote the impressive book “De Graanrepubliek” (“The Grain Republic”) about the Oldambt region. Through a story of rise and fall, he tells how the Groninger grain barons have fared the past hundred years – from the flood to one of the richest agricultural regions of Europe.
The first 100 Oldambt-route drivers receive the book "De Graanrepubliek" – signed by the writer himself.
