Cycling through the heath (Hilversum, Netherlands) [152]

Early September the heath was in full bloom in the Netherlands. This video taken on the heath near Hilversum and Laren shows how wonderful it is to cycle there.

Thank you for this video. It brings back a flood of memories. My brother and I bicycled between Huizen and Hilversum during the summer of 1963. We were staying with grandparents in Huizen and would go and visit our other grandparents in Hilversum. It was so much fun riding our bikes through the heath. Quite a trip for a 10 and 13-year-old. We almost never encountered any other cyclists.

Thank you for this. My mother Alida Motshagen must have cycled here also during her young life......no wonder she was always homesick for Holland.

Where do you live now, Jack ? Canada would be my first guess. Second Australia, third NewZealand.
Motshagen, still a well known name here. Paint, glass and wallpaper 🤝

I cycled this exact route about 10 times a year. From the city of Alkmaar to the Lage Vuursche. There and back 160Km.

What is the building at the end of the video? Somehow reminds me of Tate Modern.

[@BicycleDutch]

That is the City Hall of Hilversum. The original text labels with explanations were removed by RUclips.

[@Plons0Nard]

If I had trained this route plus others, of course, the big ride would come. The Ardennes.
Comblain au Pont, the French side. Every year for 10 years.

What is the point in this

[@nlbergsma]

Well, scenes like this are apparently common in Ukraine or Belarus , in the Netherlands they are quite rare. Hence this video.

It is a great way to see/explore other countries.
