Terug naar het begin is a unique rural arts festival in the Eemsdelta (Appingedam and surrounding terp villages) where attendees cycle between small churches and historic venues. It features intimate performances of music, theatre, and storytelling staged in centuries-old church buildings, inviting visitors to discover local heritage through art 1 2.
The festival is deeply rooted in Groningen’s historical landscape of terp villages (wierden) and old churches built to escape floods. Participants experience culture tied to land and water; this is highlighted by the venues (medieval churches) and the emphasis on cycling through an open 'Wadden-inspired' landscape 1.
