Groninger Verhalenbanken Cycle Route

The uniquely designed mosaic benches along which this route leads were created as part of the East Groningen Story Banks project [2011-2015].
Many residents, young and old, have literally contributed to the story banks.

In the glass mosaic, events from local history are imaginatively depicted by children. The topics were suggested by the village associations and neighborhood platforms. Banks with a story that are also comfortable.

Tourist Transfer Points (TOP's) are indicated along the route. These are specially equipped places where the car can be parked and from where you can drive the cycle route.

With this project there was a great opportunity to put our region on the map and enrich it with a special tourist route that runs through villages, neighborhoods and rural areas via the unique story banks. Take a taste of the many, often touching and funny details that can be seen on the benches on WWW.GRONINGERVERHALENBANKEN.NL and www.socialsofa-oldambt.nl.
Here you can also find more information about the project. LEADER OOST GRONINGEN is one of the parties that has contributed financially to the Story Banks.
