Driving routes with the LocalGroningen Route app
With the LocalGroningen route app, you can discover the most beautiful places in Groningen and beyond,
Relaxed touring in the region, enjoying beautiful landscapes and nature, unfamiliar villages and roads.
The app will show you the route and while driving you will hear all kinds of interesting stories about the origins, the history and special events of the places you come across.
Driving wrong is no problem; the app's navigation will put you back on the right path. Unexpected roadblocks and detours, the app knows how to deal with them too.
Want to take part in quiz questions while driving? Great! That way you will learn even more about the area you are driving in.
The app is suitable for driving in, and with, all vehicles. However, the routes are not suitable for very large, and heavy motorhomes and buses. After all, we look for the most beautiful, and unknown roads. (Sometimes also unpaved roads.)
We are still hard at work on a series of unique cycling routes.
Would you rather not hassle with directions on one of those tiny mobile phone screens? We understand that too. For most routes, it will still be possible to order the familiar paper route books.
