Glimmen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glimmen is a village that is part of the municipality of Haren, which lies in the province Groningen in the Netherlands. It is 10 kilometers to the city of Groningen and 5 kilometer to Haren. Glimmen has about 1700 inhabitants. The river Drentsche Aa flows past the village, nearby the Huis te Glimmen ('House in Glimmen), a stately home on the site of a mediaeval castle.
The Appèlbergen is a wood to the east of the village. Through this wood leads an old Roman road, known as the "Hereweg" (from 'Heir-weg' or "army road").
