The harbor in Grou is spacious and beautifully laid out. A beautiful path leads along the harbor, cozy benches invite you to linger, and gastronomy is also available.

The Protestant Church of Grou, or St. Peter's Church, is a religious building in Grou, one of the many medieval churches in Friesland. This Romanesque church was built from tuff stone in the first half of the 13th century.

If you want to cross to the other side, you press the button by the sign, and the ferry floats by as if by magic 😁 . Once you've boarded, you press the button on the ferry and cross to the other side. It's a great thing 👍🏼
