This town, formerly known as Grouw, is now part of the municipality of Leeuwarden. Grou has a unique tradition of celebrating Sint-Piter on February 21, their own version of the popular Saint Nicholas holiday. Legend has it that Sint-Piter is the patron saint of local fishermen and even has cheese dancers, a nickname given to the townspeople due to a story of a fiddler being paid with cheese at a village dance.

There is also a ferry, Veerpont de Burd, that connects the de Burd island. If you prefer public transportation, the Grou-Jirnsum railway station is on the Arnhem - Leeuwarden train line. So whether you want to drive, take the train, or hop on a ferry, Grou has got you covered!

While exploring Grou, make sure to visit notable landmarks such as St. Peter's church and the three restored windmills, De Bird, De Borgmolen, and De Haensmolen. And if you're a sports enthusiast, why not try out an artificial ice rink called Glice? This innovative creation by Eric Sinnema has been providing chilly fun for visitors since 2007. So lace up your skates and glide across the ice in this charming town.

Grou is the perfect destination for travelers seeking a combination of history, tradition, and natural beauty. With its unique Sint-Piter celebration and charming nickname of cheese dancers, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience.
