Glimmen is a village in the northeastern Netherlands. It is located in the municipality of Groningen, about 10 kilometres from the city. It had a population of around 1,065 in January 2017. The river Drentsche Aa flows past the village, nearby the "Huis te Glimmen" (House in Glimmen), a stately home on the site of a medieval 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").
