Roadtrip through the Netherlands

[Robert OB 33/48]

As our jeep isnt completely ok, we decided not to go abroad but doing a nice and easy road trip through the Netherlands.
The base is the Trans Europe Trail for enduro bikes.
But not everything is suitable for 4x4 rigs and trailers.
So after this part and all other parts we will refine it into a route suitable for 4x4 rigs.
As we drove the south from west to east, and a part down from north to near our home it is now time to drive the track up north.
We started a bit up north as we did that part and are now in an easy pase 5 days on the road.
We didnt drive the TET every day as we are on a holiday. So I am guessing that the whole route from the west to the south and partly down agajn can be done in a week when we drive every day.
That will be the next thing we will do.
But I will ad more tracks to it so we go further sourh as we turn from the northest point.

The Netherlands is one of the smallest countries in the world with a very densed population.
And still there is so much beauty and nature to see.

Well here is an impression of our trip so far.

Rain today, as this the normal thing in the Netherlands.
But still a nice drive and great sceneries.

The Society of Benevolence - Maatschappij van Weldadigheid

The Society of Benevolence focuses on the preservation of the work started by Johannes van den Bosch 200 years ago. A visionary idealist, Johannes believed in a socially engineerable society. His ideas stem from the European Age of Enlightenment. After Napoleon’s French troops had withdrawn...

If had to guess the little bridge with the house is in the Netherlands, I would have failed! It looks so 'exotic' for the Netherlands, I wonder where it is.

Nice photos, thanks for posting!

Great post about a fascinating place, thanks for sharing!

I still want to visit Frederiksoord. I've been to the associated place Veenhuizen a couple of times.

I've even found some overlanding worthy roads in that area I would like to explore next time I go there.
