2 LIEFJES - Explore the Netherlands

Song: Filous - Goodbye (Ft. Mat Kearney).

Exploring the North in the Netherlands

The Provinces of Groningen and Friesland in the Netherlands lay at the northern most coastline of the country, with ferries connecting to the Islands Ameland and Schiermonnikoog.

Quaint face bricked villages with cobblestone roads are speckled over the countryside. The Dutch use their favorite way of transport from one town to the other - their bicycles - mostly happily chatting away with their buddies on two rolling wheels. The girls are predominantly tall, strikingly beautiful with long hair flying in the wind.

Others move around with their boats through the narrow water channels. Draw bridges make way as they approach.

The Dutch enthusiasm for artful flower arrangements is visible at every window and even the smallest garden is blooming in full splendor. The sun tints the country side in the most vivid colors, so that even ordinary cornfields contrast beautifully with the blue sky.

Infinite are the bicycle roads on the Dykes, which invite long rides with an unobstructed view to the Wadden Sea. One day the weather is peaceful, the next day it will change and show a harsh face.

HOLLAND: Lauwersoog / Lauwersmeer (port & lake), Groningen [HD]

Not far from Lauwersoog is the village Pieterburen. The village is known for the start of the Pieterpad, a long-distance hiking trail to Sint Pieter in the extreme south of the Netherlands.

Mudflat hiking (Dutch: Wadlopen) is a recreation enjoyed by Dutch, Germans, Danes, and others in the Netherlands, northwest Germany and in Denmark. Mudflat hikers are people who, with the aid of a tide table, use a period of low water to walk and wade on the watershed of the mudflats, especially from the Frisian mainland coast to the Frisian islands.[1]
