Grou in the region
Just a stone's throw from Leeuwarden lies Grou. This is the birthplace of Skûtsjesilen and is known for its watersports. In addition, you’ll find cozy shops and nice eateries in this charming village, making it worth a visit even for those who aren’t into watersports. Whether you put on your walking shoes, step onto a boat, or relax on a terrace by the water, there’s something for everyone here!
Time for a break - food!
By the water or in the cozy center, after skating or just before enjoying a refreshing drink in the summer: Grou has plenty of charming restaurants where you can dine well. In the summer months, you can enjoy the terrace, and in the winter, you can warm up by a crackling fireplace. In Grou, the chefs treat you to local products, but you'll also find classics from all around the world. In short, it's a wonderful place to relax!
Hotspots for foodies
Out and about - walking or cycling
Want to stretch your legs after sailing? Put on your walking shoes or hop on a bike and explore the surroundings of Grou. Thanks to its beautiful location, you can head in any direction, with various routes to cycle or walk! Ride the Pontjesroute, stroll past all 43 national monuments of the village, or take the junction route into nature.
Cycling
SUP, boat or 'skûtsje' - sailing
Grou is rightly known as the watersport village. The village is surrounded by water and is close to various nature reserves that can be accessed by boat. Exploring the area from the water is the perfect activity here! Whether it’s a sloop, a stand-up paddleboard, or a sailboat, you have plenty of options! Not a watersport enthusiast yourself? The best helmsmen are, of course, on shore! Each summer, the SKS Championship Skûtsjesilen is organized. This Frisian sailing competition brings a lot of joy and is definitely worth witnessing.
