I love the vibe from this city - not just the café culture and cosy streets and the bustling market square but also the impressive old city fortifications from the 15-17th Century which are so well preserved, as well as the dominating Gothic <span style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John%27s_Cathedral_(%27s-Hertogenbosch)" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sint-Janskathedraal</a></span>. All these elements combined make Den Bosch a unique city to spend time in. </p><p>Given I have been here many times I should really know more about the history of the city- but the weather was too nice to explore old buildings and museums for a history lesson - instead just a few meters outside the front of the station and before the temptation of the most famous <a href="https://www.bosschebollen.nl/onze-producten.php?page=detail&id=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">bossche bol shop in the city</a> got to me - I took a swift left and walked along the Dommel, to the south side of the city , to Bossche Broek. Here, just minutes form the city centre you really feel disconnected from urban life as you wander the nature reserve - but the towers of Sint-Janskathedraal looking down upon you- always remind you - that in the Netherlands - you are never really far away from a café latte. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQbbk6glq2bq8hb5oL60O83ts9mkSPj4JM0q_ILdOKG92iyifv_c_dZ_bsBdKL2x9K9mcLFX8GWDUXkMl_CwLqK12mXUn3eUyttSScXxWT67hwje9JYy7GQmpKChGFeS3T3VuUIPttAhI8YE1KUEn-qoj3nVV0j9-YhCbkC6I11zCoXQecvhhA78ZL/s4000/IMG_20220205_122922.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQbbk6glq2bq8hb5oL60O83ts9mkSPj4JM0q_ILdOKG92iyifv_c_dZ_bsBdKL2x9K9mcLFX8GWDUXkMl_CwLqK12mXUn3eUyttSScXxWT67hwje9JYy7GQmpKChGFeS3T3VuUIPttAhI8YE1KUEn-qoj3nVV0j9-YhCbkC6I11zCoXQecvhhA78ZL/w240-h320/IMG_20220205_122922.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZu-raWmgRGDRAuZ19gjWD9kSY_gU6JX1iMUW8d9uq9tPh0SLgukIn6JISmHr25eZak1qTydJaQENWueMneEYn8dIlYhZXCU5Yr2sT61YD-_TPTfjIDrW8Nu2LaYEaIU7on_fCtEBMi80bdhSkwFiW7jj1mkYCLmzegIcxNi5Tq2UdRIsy-aTw6SVh/s3735/IMG_20220205_122927.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2801" data-original-width="3735" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZu-raWmgRGDRAuZ19gjWD9kSY_gU6JX1iMUW8d9uq9tPh0SLgukIn6JISmHr25eZak1qTydJaQENWueMneEYn8dIlYhZXCU5Yr2sT61YD-_TPTfjIDrW8Nu2LaYEaIU7on_fCtEBMi80bdhSkwFiW7jj1mkYCLmzegIcxNi5Tq2UdRIsy-aTw6SVh/s320/IMG_20220205_122927.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtudcrdeFH9IM1OPIJ1zQfmAPM6H2nyxg4KcA_F8jHhgsICb-7sArpMBPal2hEj1t5we8N9ac35YkqrzUCKPHDRilaMsu6WcTviXlWU8jM3cReaJMdmpwJhOTMCxQPKMBK82giPkLS1cwT_tPo4z-WUChhZDGbZe6s2zSyuzMFdFg0SVzf3WCCSi6/s4096/IMG_20220205_123623.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="3072" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFtudcrdeFH9IM1OPIJ1zQfmAPM6H2nyxg4KcA_F8jHhgsICb-7sArpMBPal2hEj1t5we8N9ac35YkqrzUCKPHDRilaMsu6WcTviXlWU8jM3cReaJMdmpwJhOTMCxQPKMBK82giPkLS1cwT_tPo4z-WUChhZDGbZe6s2zSyuzMFdFg0SVzf3WCCSi6/s320/IMG_20220205_123623.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvYzXKh0qHgBPEdXp9gP6gVkE0gSUeJqyke4X9k-fJ3ccUIS8nedkOZSp6oKMF_mGICQOwJ_JqxhA5LlGYlVSNts1XFxqHrmIcBYtTEgfOMU_aJs16_omA2Tx3RYyrtoPNvcYCg6nDUihg40ynnik4dEuV-c5QLcVGvqM2BLN9R0mmP0emI1Tnjhak/s4000/IMG_20220205_130046.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvYzXKh0qHgBPEdXp9gP6gVkE0gSUeJqyke4X9k-fJ3ccUIS8nedkOZSp6oKMF_mGICQOwJ_JqxhA5LlGYlVSNts1XFxqHrmIcBYtTEgfOMU_aJs16_omA2Tx3RYyrtoPNvcYCg6nDUihg40ynnik4dEuV-c5QLcVGvqM2BLN9R0mmP0emI1Tnjhak/s320/IMG_20220205_130046.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRFt6ExuhukLAspUILtgYziB37-OsUhqYQdhpnZmYQQWniL8HyXmFpfOGeafoM3SEEPjSOEnu3OCng_mLnC1gSXzKAcvHbJqmUdg3RfoMHw99CnPs2qiByXDL0BcA7S4gpRNK9KTYaE0MQl3fg3ZgsR4pvTmTOeu3SdBmNc-qsWuK8AneADkyOLym_/s4000/IMG_20220205_131324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRFt6ExuhukLAspUILtgYziB37-OsUhqYQdhpnZmYQQWniL8HyXmFpfOGeafoM3SEEPjSOEnu3OCng_mLnC1gSXzKAcvHbJqmUdg3RfoMHw99CnPs2qiByXDL0BcA7S4gpRNK9KTYaE0MQl3fg3ZgsR4pvTmTOeu3SdBmNc-qsWuK8AneADkyOLym_/s320/IMG_20220205_131324.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>railthetrailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10796720750520505161noreply@blogger.com0's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands51.6978162 5.303674823.387582363821153 -29.8525752 80.008050036178844 40.459924799999996tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142877046523034225.post-89008209312539854212022-02-20T05:22:00.004-08:002022-04-09T09:45:15.981-07:00 #401 Project All the Train stations in the Netherlands 54.

It was fairly grey and the station and surrounding area looked quiet sad - so instead of heading into the main shopping area to see what was happening (and learn a little about the <a href="https://www.beleefboxtel.nl/wat-te-doen/hotspots/jas-de-keistamper">famous Boxtel Giant</a> who probably would not have turned up until Kings Day anyway) I wondered down to <a href="https://kasteel-stapelen.nl/culturele-en-maatschappelijke-activiteiten/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kasteel Stapelen. </a> An area that has been mentioned as far back as 1300. Given the weather it was not surprising that I had the whole area to myself - and that was a nice for an afternoon stroll. I recommend walking from this area to St. peters Bascilica and read the sign posts along the way. If you happen to be in Boxtel on Trinity Sunday - be sure to follow the<a href="https://www.immaterieelerfgoed.nl/en/heiligbloedprocessie" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> 'Procession of the Holy Blood' </a>a tradition in Boxtel from 1925. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjvVeNyuM3k4qBfeLYR7BRfZB1UsZYl75k0vCoRVBxPvUW4q2oHMHR5B7gAWPpOAo60-qoIXsN-bIC5iIv-t44zOxuQo5bPbjHzdF2LmjrhVKxEpkp7nebkWO_QWYJi8ImAOm1IyP9ienuhf2Ima_s3DfQkDGD9Nw0XB4yc3xtpFnwVCUt41l3XpN0N=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjvVeNyuM3k4qBfeLYR7BRfZB1UsZYl75k0vCoRVBxPvUW4q2oHMHR5B7gAWPpOAo60-qoIXsN-bIC5iIv-t44zOxuQo5bPbjHzdF2LmjrhVKxEpkp7nebkWO_QWYJi8ImAOm1IyP9ienuhf2Ima_s3DfQkDGD9Nw0XB4yc3xtpFnwVCUt41l3XpN0N=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJqkLO2AU-jreGzRgB8B-72yrORF2kbbdmZbzzxW0fr-fCe2vMoLAIg4M4NujGKzqM5qBaTaCuQ4HQglraG9nNONLieI5I9Z7DGTB6mBUUTeCtKWopSqAM78DFxvpPElc6sQ1HDBfhaRm7iLPJt5RbzRcS7ku_VJHVJIc1A7KEw2ZVyOhuOq9XSB4X=s4608" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhJqkLO2AU-jreGzRgB8B-72yrORF2kbbdmZbzzxW0fr-fCe2vMoLAIg4M4NujGKzqM5qBaTaCuQ4HQglraG9nNONLieI5I9Z7DGTB6mBUUTeCtKWopSqAM78DFxvpPElc6sQ1HDBfhaRm7iLPJt5RbzRcS7ku_VJHVJIc1A7KEw2ZVyOhuOq9XSB4X=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9HR4otKYp3_T-HEBKyHdswpsKVfYhG4BhGJbcZkqRl5DyqwCAFwgJlT9WURarGCflqOGgudWVvYvzkyUUUZ_jKmYiy0QFJ0Ultsk3CjsDmhKUJVqxbMW-eRBp4S8A_ARiLx_Xb7BuRBOli-uYAPd5zoNu8oSqIvgnNumPlrdM8GuYxNER8gYRh0Yk=s3456" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3189" data-original-width="3456" height="369" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh9HR4otKYp3_T-HEBKyHdswpsKVfYhG4BhGJbcZkqRl5DyqwCAFwgJlT9WURarGCflqOGgudWVvYvzkyUUUZ_jKmYiy0QFJ0Ultsk3CjsDmhKUJVqxbMW-eRBp4S8A_ARiLx_Xb7BuRBOli-uYAPd5zoNu8oSqIvgnNumPlrdM8GuYxNER8gYRh0Yk=w400-h369" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>railthetrailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10796720750520505161noreply@blogger.com0Boxtel, Netherlands51.601437 5.312177323.291203163821152 -29.844072699999998 79.911670836178843 40.4684273tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142877046523034225.post-8533032449960738722022-01-13T01:16:00.002-08:002022-04-09T09:44:32.357-07:00 #401 Project All the Train stations in the Netherlands 52 Best<p>So what is there to do in a town in Brabant on a cold grey day.

Of course in a nod to this I had to visit (and very much recommend) the <a href="https://www.mu.nl/en/exhibitions/now" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mu Hybrid art space</a>. Loved walking around here the whole area is full of inspiration and ideas and pop ups. If you are in need of some creative vibes - head here. </p><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xgtl4BYAJO8/YSf_DqkG--I/AAAAAAAADoQ/_M6nL3qFeJAjlvQUcYYsB8CWqioycq0LwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Eindhoven%2BStrijp-s%2B1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1876" data-original-width="2048" height="293" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xgtl4BYAJO8/YSf_DqkG--I/AAAAAAAADoQ/_M6nL3qFeJAjlvQUcYYsB8CWqioycq0LwCLcBGAsYHQ/w320-h293/Eindhoven%2BStrijp-s%2B1.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x5dcBPQZnzs/YSf_FSQotSI/AAAAAAAADoY/bzGVKTA9GG0J2uPs9o1znjqmuLZ0-F-MQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20210821_162409__01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1054" data-original-width="2048" height="165" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x5dcBPQZnzs/YSf_FSQotSI/AAAAAAAADoY/bzGVKTA9GG0J2uPs9o1znjqmuLZ0-F-MQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210821_162409__01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pDN3SdZKpuQ/YSf_FqlIwCI/AAAAAAAADoc/EpwxTJWeGoQrJSEfilCttqoAavfUvJOCACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20210821_153142__01__01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1211" data-original-width="2048" height="189" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pDN3SdZKpuQ/YSf_FqlIwCI/AAAAAAAADoc/EpwxTJWeGoQrJSEfilCttqoAavfUvJOCACLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210821_153142__01__01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YdJIGQ6r2Bo/YSf_EeUh1nI/AAAAAAAADoU/yDy8lMNX3cAStVRF_8XFzL3BMSDLz9ViQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20210821_152318.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1631" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YdJIGQ6r2Bo/YSf_EeUh1nI/AAAAAAAADoU/yDy8lMNX3cAStVRF_8XFzL3BMSDLz9ViQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210821_152318.jpg" width="255" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qjnLR72PiYE/YSf_F6-zMJI/AAAAAAAADog/4Cd-yOQ3peo9jqtqr8B1hE_SWfgVindhQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_20210821_151802.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qjnLR72PiYE/YSf_F6-zMJI/AAAAAAAADog/4Cd-yOQ3peo9jqtqr8B1hE_SWfgVindhQCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/IMG_20210821_151802.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>railthetrailshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10796720750520505161noreply@blogger.com0Strijp-S, Eindhoven, Netherlands51.4466557 5.458501223.136421863821155 -29.6977488 79.756889536178846 40.6147512tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142877046523034225.post-37433679752241918622021-08-24T12:26:00.001-07:002021-12-04T09:30:01.452-08:00#401 Project All the Train stations in the Netherlands 50 Eindhoven Milestone alert- I made it to station number 50 with unaltered enthusiasm for my project. So in high spirits I departed Eindhoven station. Although I have passed through Eindhoven many times I have never really taken some hours to just to wander around the city with no real aim. Of course I found myself surrounded by food and art! I ended up in the <a href="https://gourmetmarket.nl/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Down Town Gourmet Market</a> and went to the <a href="https://vanabbemuseum.nl/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Van Abbemuseum</a>. The Van Abbemuseum is difficult to miss - a massive block imposing unapologetically on the banks of De Dommel. Later in the day as I sat in the museum café, pondering over all I had seen, in the sunshine, with an iced latte in hand and the sounds of running water altering my perception of the fact that I am in the middle of the city surrounded by hustle and bustle - I thought to myself life is indeed very very good. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lGYLPKVOGAA/YSVGwTWEgWI/AAAAAAAADnY/Jbc-h5aUVuIwOdHV6BAmk-mwl7GEefP8ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2509/Eindhoven2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: justify;">Station No 49 Geldrop, did a little trip around Geldrop on an OV bike, past the large Neo-Romanesque church towards weaving mueum and the meandering kliene Dommel and followed this for a while until I ended up on Kasteel Geldrop. There are various gardens here ( sensory gardens, kids mini farm etc., but the flower garden on the grounds of this estate is so immersing that before you know it you feel relaxed and without a care in the world. Highly recommended.

On the line between Roermond and Eindhoven. I cancelled my plans for any onwards travel to Eindhoven as I cycled around discovering what Heeze has to offer. Started with a nice lunch on the terrace near the station. I cycled around checking out the pretty thatched houses, impeccably neat farms, visited the 17th Century <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heeze_Castle" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Heeze Castle</a> and ended up on a nice trip around the Strabrechtse Heide. The Heide is a heathland full of beautiful heather and the distinctive twisting trunks of juniper trees. A mild heathland not sweeping or dramatic but certainly a unique and refreshing view after a year of no train trips! </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QRzNNpCdXlQ/YR-n3TRJSbI/AAAAAAAADfM/S8MospPNPmw6kKrROaAfDDIw4LtafmwmgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/heeze%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I brought my bike with me so I can roam around the area. I found myself on Kerkstraat and found some <a href="https://www.monumenten.nl/monument/26324" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">monuments</a> along Kerkstraat near the old school house and St. Gertrudis <a href="https://www.parochiemaarheeze.nl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">church</a>.

A small place with a long history - this town is dominated by the twin peaks of the Neo Gothic St Martin Church which looks out over the Mass and if a nice spot for a ramble along by the river.<br />

Station No 40. Boxmeer, I cycled here from Cuijk on a grey day (brightened up by mini pancaked at the pancake house) keeping the twin towers of St. Martins Cathedral behind me and the Mass river beside me I cycled past German bunkers and farmhouses and cornfields. The destination was a <a href="https://www.kasteelboxmeer.nl/historie-kasteel-boxmeer/" target="_blank">castle</a> on the opposite side of town to Boxmeer rail station. Looks like it is now a care home with beautifully kept grounds and a lot of life around the area.</div>

My first post-covid lockdown trip and a new province - North Brabant. I brought the bike (bike tickets have increased to <span style="background-color: white; color: #4d5156; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">€</span>7.50) and cycled from the station, which is tucked away west of Vierlingsbeek through the village. Opposite the station is a nice looking restaurant/cafe perfect location for waiting on the next train and a busy pancake house - I bypassed these and headed for the watermill, passing some pretty houses along the way. According to all the info you can read by the mill there has been a mill on this site since 1446! </div>

Picked up a bike at the self-service station and cycled to some castle runs in the direction of Oostrum to Gejisteren was quite around the area but in the other direction, you can head to the city center of Venray and further away is the only German war cemetery in the Netherlands where some 31 thousand Germans are buried<span style="color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">. </span></span><br />

I rented a bike one of those self service bike lockers and took a spin into the center of Horst where I found a sleepy patch of Limburg and I came across the <a href="https://www.museumdekantfabriek.nl/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">lace factory</a>. I wasn't sure what to expect but in the end I spent some time here and was fascinated by the machines and the amazing creativity and artistic talent on display both old and modern. I really enjoyed chatting with the custodians there who are defiantly part and parcel of making this collection come to life<br />

Right under Nijmegen, this station which reopened less than a decade ago (the original station building demolished in the 1970s) is at the very top of Limburg. This station is the perfect stop-off point for a walk in the star-shaped nature reserve of Heumense Schans - which is exactly what I did. <br />

As the area is well known for it's centuries-old expertise in ceramics and pottery I took a trip to the <a href="http://www.tiendschuur.net/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ceramics museum</a> located in a restored tithe barn on the beautiful estate of Kasteel de Holtmühle (17th century). This estate has been preserved (or restored?) and hosts the tithe barn, castle gates, gardens, ponds, moats and farmlands and all around the Kasteel de Holtmühle are nice walks to explore.<br />

I arrived in Reuver with no plans. I decided to grab a bike at the station. I peddled until I came across a ferry crossing point. I jumped on and discovered Kessel. The castle there (<a href="https://kasteeldekeverberg.nl/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kasteel de Keverberg</a>- the most 'modern castle' in The Netherlands) which was destroyed in the war has been renovated in a unique way with lots of glass and viewing platforms - which offers amazing views over the Mass River.<br />

Sitting between Germany and the Mass river I arrived to Swalmen station with my bike in toe and had a small cycle around the area and croseds back and forth over the Schwalm river . On the Markt square is a pub called De Mert which I'd say is lively in the evening although a little quiet when I was there.<br />

Just over the street from Station Venlo is the Limburg Museum. I went on a Saturday morning and I must have had this whole large airy building all to myself which was equal parts nice and strange. For those not from this province this collection provides some historical insight to the region.<br />
<br />
I didn't see anything about WW11 here which I was expecting given the level of activity (bombings and the 'Venlo Incident') perhaps I missed a section.<br />
<br />
Walking around Venlo and seeing the beautiful town hall and the Gothic Romerhuis I can imagine that the city must have lost quite a lot during WW11 in terms of structures which suffered heavy bombings and of course the 'Venlo Incident' was the pretext for the Nazi occupation. The Venlo station too is typical post war 1950's style.<br />
