Holland landmarks
Discover the Netherlands sights
There are so many sights in the Netherlands that our neighboring country always attracts us. We introduce you to three villages in North Holland that fulfill all the clichés you have as a first-time visitor to Holland. You shouldn't miss the Zuidersee Museum. There you can see how people used to live in Holland. Rotterdam and Amsterdam are big cities to discover. So far, however, we have traveled more in the country and the islands. Texel fascinates us. Just like life in the polder landscapes behind the dike on the Frisian North Sea coast. The Hanseatic cities are also very beautiful. The Netherlands is worth seeing during the tulip bloom. You will also find travel tips in our articles.
Renting a Texel holiday home Renting a Texel holiday home is probably the best way to spend a holiday on the island in North Holland. It doesn't necessarily have to be a Texel holiday home by the sea, because it is never far away. There are inexpensive private holiday homes that are located in the middle of nature. There ...
Texel sheep are known for their robust build and stocky appearance. Ewes reach a weight of 70 to 80 kg and the rams up to 90 kg. Texel sheep breeders also value their wool, which is white and of high quality. This is sheared once a year and provides around 4 to...
Rotterdam may be overshadowed by Amsterdam in popularity and activity, but it is by no means a less interesting Dutch city. Rotterdam, the second largest and most important city in the Netherlands next to the capital, is chic, modern, cultural and absolutely beautiful. When visiting the Netherlands, you should definitely visit this amazing ...
Hasselt Netherlands Sightseeing The Hanseatic city of Hasselt in the Netherlands is one of the five Hanseatic cities that we visit on our tour through the Hanseatic region. I was particularly excited about her. After all, it was the birthplace of Kilian van Rensselaer. I had heard from him many times on my visits to New York City ...
The Hanseatic city of Elburg and its sights The Hanseatic city of Elburg is one of the towns in Holland that has retained its charm. If you enter the place behind the city wall, which has been almost completely preserved, you have the feeling that you are entering a different time. That may be because the main street ...
As a graduate in American studies and a frequent visitor to Plymouth and Boston in New England, I am very interested in the Pilgrim Fathers Museum in Leiden in Holland. I want to learn more about the history of the Pilgrim Fathers. A visit to this small museum is a great way to do that. What do the Pilgrim Fathers have to do with...
Getting to know Leiden Holland from a boat We have already experienced a lot, but a city tour by boat is not one of the usual experiences on our pleasure trips. Water played a big part in our trip to Leiden Holland. We slept the three nights of our stay in a...
A houseboat in Holland as an alternative to a hotel? We asked ourselves this question when planning our blogger trip to the flower parade in Bollenstreek in Holland. This was because it turned out to be difficult to get a hotel for a group of seven people during the festival period. Simone from nach-holland.de struck ...
The port of Rotterdam We want to experience the port of Rotterdam on a harbor tour. Even if this is not by the sea, this gives us an impression of a holiday in the Netherlands by the sea. Our ship casts off right next to the Erasmus Bridge, which looks like a harp. The sun shines from the sky and ...
The Dutch North Sea coast and its hinterland We have been on research trips in the north of Holland several times. This time we had two days to look at the Dutch North Sea coast between Den Helder and the province of Groningen. UNESCO Waddenzee Werelderfgoed invited us to visit as travel bloggers. The tips we ...
