What to do in Pieterburen??

Driving with the Queen of Pieterburen in a coach!

or
 Mudwalking?
Mud walking is an exciting and adventurous way to become acquainted with a unique nature reserve, the Wadden Sea, which is the largest continuous national park in Europe. Mud walking on the bottom of the Wadden Sea is possible because the shallows fall dry at low tide. The shallows consist of sandbanks, criss-crossed with trenches and gullies.

just the quit of the wind and the cows low in the  meadows.


Walking:
Fantastic to take walk in the provence of Groningen.
If you like  farmhouses, you can find very old ones
and they made many routes along the beautiful little villages,
 they'll bring you back in time, ages ago......
Smell the fields in springtime and count
the various green colours in the fields...
or  take walk in the oldest botanic garden
from Holland here in Pieterburen "Domies Toen".
Then "Het Pieterpad"( the path of Pieter),
It isn't as many of you(me too) think a very old pelgrimroute
No it was an idea of two older ladies (Toos Goorhuis-Tjalsma en
Bertje Jens)....in the periode between 1975 en 1981...
The ladies thought: Well Holland should have a long walkingroute,
as many countries have already for ages and ages...
 and they walked from the north tom the south of Holland.
And if your not tired after walking Holland, you can walk further
from The Sint Pietersberg (The Mountain of Saint Pieter, that's why they call it the Path of Pieter) to the Mediteranian (it's called the GR 5)

Daytrip to Schiermonnikoog or Ameland

 With the ferries from Lauwersoog (for Schier)
and Holwerd(Ameland) so closeby, 18 and 30 kilometers

with your bed and breakfast in Pieterburen as a homebase.
