    Maybe , whenever you are back in the Netherlands you might check up the hilly areas . In Gelderland and Limburg.
    The go up till about 300 meters and there are beautiful historic towns and cities like Maastricht.
    The history of Maastricht goes back to
    the Romans who called it "Mosa Trajectum" and still has a big stone Roman bridge wich is completely intact. Maastricjt is about 3 hours by train from A'dam .....

    Not sure what the situation in Giethoorn is concerning the rooftops, but, big chance that some of the homes fall under the monument preservation rules by either the local government or national government, which requires you to maintain the building by using the original materials (and sometims also the original construction methods) around during the time of construction in order to stay a monument and get some government funding to maintain the building in return.

    • @WAYAWAYWithAsh

    I live in Naarden and I think my town is pretty special as well! It is centuries old and still has this centre with old houses, small streets and a pretty church. It used to be one of the defending points for Amsterdam and what is especially notable is that it's a star shaped fortress (google Naarden for sky view) which is pretty intact as well. I love walking on the strip of land inbetween the two water strips around the city centre.

    5:06 Actually, not that long ago, actually, the water changed from salt to fresh in 1932 or thereabout. Fishing did not entirely stop after that, although, obviously, the ecosystem changed. Later, after the flood in Zealand, in 1953 , when planning the Deltaworks, provisions were made to retain as much as an open access to the sea there as possible in order to keep the ecosystem of, especially, the Westerschelde, intact... But unfortunately for Volendam, Urk, Spakenburg, Marken, and all those other quaint little fishing villages on the IJsselmeer shore, that knowledge still needed to be aquired in the 1920's and 30's.

    The straw roofing is not just typical for that village or area, it's very common everywhere in the NL's really. And also partly in Germany and Belgium and also a lot of English cottages have these kinda roofing. Great vid once again btw!

  • @messinalyle4030
    @messinalyle4030 3 года назад +2

    Is it typical for the leaves to still not have changed color yet by Nov 3 (the upload date of this video) in Giethoorn? Is that because the temperatures are so mild there normally, or is it because the warm weather is lasting longer due to climate change the way that it has started to where I live (Southeastern US)?
    If the leaves do eventually change color here at some point in the fall, I imagine it would be stunning! Not that it isn't stunning as it appears here, of course. I wouldn't mind living here.

      Rotterdam has been bombed severely in the Second World War, which caused a lot of the historical buildings there to be damaged so badly that it was easier to build new buildings than to restore most of the damaged ones (if there was anything left at all). This is what causes the big architectural difference.
