American Reacts To The Netherlands Seen From The Sky | Incredible Aerial Footage of Holland

[@Linda-hs1lk]

1.43 is Rotterdam. The footage is from a while ago though, they're still building in the video and it's been finished for a while already. We have a lot more nature than what is shown in this video, this was mostly filmed in the west. You should watch videos from the east. Far more beautiful.

[@jsb7975]

Can't understand why people never show footage of the hilly landscapes (which reach up until 340 mtrs , while they are BEAUTIFUL and there are lots of medieval castels as well ......

[@erwinbolink]

@@ItsCharlieVest most of this video was shot in the west of the Netherlands which explains the lack of diversity in landscape. Here you can see what my area looks like. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZzQlIl9fLGql9k

[@anniek4681]

Indeed it was mostly the provinces North and South Holland and probably some Flevoland. If they had shown some Braband and Limburg there would be less water and more hills. Especialy Limburg. They live at the very bottom of the Mountains that become the Alps. So it's not mountain yet.😉

[@henrischutte1968]

Zutphen and De Hoge Veluwe are not in Holland.

[@anniek4681]

@@henrischutte1968 Ofcourse they are not. My mistake, i thought they showded the nature reserve in Flevoland. I didn't recognise Zutphen.

[@Loesters]

Please do a reaction on our most beautiful and lush provence: South Limburg. This region is very different then the rest of the Netherlands. Nature is different, the spoken language is different, house building is different. South Limburg is very special and beautiful. Look it up! And thanks for your entertaining video's!

[@martinehuismanlenzen7447]

So true it is way different you should look in to it

[@s.b.907]

3:15 those were seals, no walruses in the Netherlands except in the zoos.

[@LAU-ik6dp]

Charlie is the best promo guy for the Netherlands😋 goverment can we sponsor him for tourism purposes? Thanks for the vid again💪🏽

[@viveklouwer1663]

You said that a lot seemed unnatural. We actually do have untouched land that is not reclaimed. Like de Veluwe. It´s a beautiful environment with lots of wild animals. And even, yes, wolves are spotted there.

[@data1.078]

Only the difference with our more natural land compared to from others countries is that it is completely by choice to remain natural. Edit: I was misinformed. The Veluwe is not a natural forest.

[@Dusto9]

The Veluwe isn't natural nor untouched, it's man made. Before human interruption that entire area was sand. Not even 1% of the original drifting sands still remain and the tiny bit that is still there is heavily managed by people. The forests and everything else were planted between 1880 and 1920 to stop the wind picking up the sand. Even the animals (moeflons) are non-native and can't exist there without human help and fences to keep out the native wolves. Ironically the moeflons were imported in an attempt to preserve the last tiny bit of actual nature (the sand) from overgrowth by letting the animals graze, so even the 1% of true nature there can't exist without human intervention.

[@Dasypodidae45]

@@Dusto9 Wow, didn't know that. Would love to see a video about that, do you know of any good ones?

[@arjenH2Os]

@@Dusto9 actually the sand was also there due to overuse of the land by earlier generations. Hardly anything completely untouched by humans in the Netherlands. Even the parts we consider.

[@_JoyceArt]

There is untouched nature here in the Netherlands, or better said, bits that have been given back to nature. Since we’re small, it’s not the massive parks you have in the states, obviously, but it is surprisingly green here. Also, here in the south, we have lovely rolling hills. I live on top of one. 😁 Hills in South-Limburg kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpabqoGFprSindU Nature park The Veluwe kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn3TmGZtq56Widk

[@qwertyuiopzxcfgh]

Not just bits that have been given back to nature though. They've created multiple pieces of artificial land (where there used to be water) and then declared that land to be a nature reserve, like the Oostvaardersplassen or Natuurgebied Neeltje Jans.

[@Loesters]

I was born and raised in South Limburg, but I moved to Zeeland 10 years ago. I miss Limburg a lot. The hills, the forests, the lush nature... South Limburg is special and it will always be my home. ❤

[@zephyrus339]

Hey, that's Zutphen at 4:24. I live there.

[@EL-Patron.]

We also have a world famous, dredging company in the Netherlands. It's called Boskalis they build the Palmisland in Dubai

[@hondaryder3779]

All the squares and rectangles! To make swamps, bogmires and quackmires into farmland, dig a deep ditch around the land, plant Trees or plants to soak up the water. Cut Them down till the land and rotate crops. That is why it is all patchy. Thanks ancestors. Ps the Canals were also dug by hand.

[@hanswhiteeagletubben261]

Its was a serie special made for tv for the dutch people, by the vpro. There is much more to see then the 'westland'. North, south are totaly different, in atmosphere and landscapes.

[@DigitalRageInc]

National Geographic did a Europe from Above series , the Netherlands was one episode , well worth an hour of you time if you can find it to watch

[@lbergen001]

Actually this short vid is the intro for the complete serie of longer vids of "Netherlands from above".

[@Trazynn]

14:45 see those trees behind the church tower? That's where an entire cathedral used to be. Where the trees are growing is the part where a tornado went straight through the church but left the tower standing.

[@foetsie85]

damn never saw the dom tower like that didn´t even know that it was cut in half til i saw your comment and watched the footage

[@palantir135]

This is from the series Nederland van boven. The south of the province of Limburg isn’t flat at all. Have a look at that.

[@j.l.h.6128]

The creatures on the beach where seals. We have alot of them in the north of the country

[@AwoudeX]

4:15 your reaction here merits my reaction. What you're looking at are the remnants of a star fortress surrounding a city. Not long ago a US politician prided his own country on never having had the need to build city walls. The ignorant fool doesn't know that by 1776 walls around cities were pretty much obsolete due to the advancements in artillery. Also: wallstreet was where the wall was of the Dutch early settlement what later became New York.

[@ypeanton]

Magnificent use of space!

[@marcusfranconium3392]

The part where you said that is a crazy shot is the area where i live. just 5 km more to the east .

[@Judith_Remkes]

Here's a playlist of short video's of all the provinces: kzbin.info/aero/PLTCvYMxMLypCIBOhoyBOyxi7xkLyloS7-

[@blinkybillist]

We do have a mountain - Vaalserberg

[@Feiten_Raadsels]

From the air, this ‘star fort’ town near Amsterdam resembles a gigantic snowflake. As a result of its distinctive shape, Naarden was used as a rallying point for Allied bombers during World War II, but we’re sure it could also work as a navigational tool for low-flying dragons.

[@Ozymandias1]

It was built in the 17th century when star fortresses were the best kind of defence against sieges with cannons.

[@sampeeps3371]

The town inside the star fort looked amazing

[@Ozymandias1]

@Nvm Some other towns like it in the Netherlands are Bourtange, Den Briel (Brielle) and Hulst.

[@jefnatuurfilmer]

They dit nog focus on the Nature the Netherlands has.

[@theo4281]

Yes our famous walruses and our walrus shelter on texel, lol Those are seals from the wadden sea so you may call them navy seals ; ) p.s. navy seals were invented by Admiral Michiel de Ruyter. One of the greatest admirals who ever lived. He gave the English their biggest defeat ever on English ground. He destroyed their entire fleet and brought home their flagship the Royal Charles in one piece with no casualties on our side. Pearl Harbor was nothing compared to that attack and the English don't teach it in their schools out of shame. The tour to Chatham it's called for anyone who want to know more of it.

[@mz3912]

u got the best Dutch thing in Indiana by yourself... and its/was Dunkin

2:30 You, most Americans and most Dutch people don't know this. But that right there is a piece of USA oil reserves for when in crisis. 3:10 Seals .. like Seabert .. the bravest of them all ...

Did you know that there are Dutch windmills in America? San Francisco has two century-old Dutch windmills. And 125' tall Dutch Windmill. Built in 1761 in The Netherlands and moved to Holland Michigan in 1964.

[@TheLtData]

Love your videos! If you decide to come to The Netherlands give me a call and I'll show you around 😉

[@Sander-zj3wi]

There is a transport video for a large piece of equipment for the gas/oil industry from Rotterdam to Amsterdam. They put a camera on top and made a time-lapse: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpezdJeAltV8jqM

[@gerbentvandeveen]

Dat was zeker niet alleen Holland, maar Flevoland, de rotonde bij Amersfoort met de woontoren. Waar Spakenburg naast ligt. En de Veluwe 1 van de Nationale natuurparken van Nederland. En Schiphol internationale, 35 minuten van Spakenburg.

[@arposkraft3616]

@4:00 wadden, biesbos, utrecht hill area some bits of forrest in brabant and maybe a few small other spots are natural (and not even then) so its almost wholly engineered and if not engineered managed, and ye sometimes that does make me sad

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

Sadly we have to deal with what our ancestors left us. There is just not enough land in the Netherlands for 'real' nature, like you can find in national parks like the USA, Australia and South Africa to name a few.

[@Ozymandias1]

Natural nature is what is missing in the Netherlands. Just about everything is manmade or man-cultivated, even the forests and the dunes. That's something the US has way more of.

[@jsb7975]

The dunes 200 miles from the sea were placed there at the end of the big ice-age. A lot of forest areas have been diminished through the ages, but have always been there.....

[@fnglert]

We do have actual nature. The Veluwe for example. But it's not like rocks, hills, etc. It's heather and forest, it's boars and deer. In fact, there's no surface rock in the NL, for the majority at least, or not at all if I remember right. It's all grass, dirt, clay, sand.

[@Dasypodidae45]

I don't know if it's really surface rock as you call it but maybe the marlstone in south limburg?

[@fnglert]

@@Dasypodidae45 I suppose that counts. Still only a tiny bit though.

[@linkedlogic1829]

that ''dirt or something'' was coal :3

Will you learn about the Netherlands 🇳🇱 look that for the kids episode from Bassie and Adriaan 🤔💭 a idea

dont get me wrong they ONLY keep you shwoing the west of the Nehterlands, (holland) but the rest is awesome, more nature, the east and south for example)

We do have mountains in "Limburg" Southern province, they do speak flemish over there. Our province Flevoland is man made we also made those palm island in Dubai. Our country is under sea level some times it matter of time till the "dijken'" break and whole netherlands is flooted. Last summer we had lots of rain fall what made the water level in the Maas reach and new record. and even over flooted at some places. Parts of the dijk where broken at some places as well what did make realise our goverment to invest more in it if it happend again. The after math can be billions if the dijk can break next to big city's like Nijmegen. is these case we where lucky in germany is was way worse. But ye why is our country that flat ive same question. its maybe our ground/earth its different we also are not fimilair with natural disasters. Or wild animals we dont have them. But for a small and bored country we are now we have a great history.

[@MrToradragon]

2:27 It looks more like coal port.

[@yvkon]

It is. In the Europoort, a part of the harbour of Rotterdam there are several coal depots like this

[@FacelessJanus]

Still one question I have. How do you spell your name ?? With ie or y ??

[@Sarah-do9my]

you should watch the F1 title fight if you want to see our dutch hero MAX VERSTAPPEN!!!! it's Sunday at 12.00 european time, don't know your time. I heard from a friend in New York you guys can see it for free, FIA wants more American fans! Saturday is qualifications. and another tip, watch this years F1 race on Zandvoort, that was fixed up and raced on this year for the first time in 36 years. on thar footage you can see our orange army and how mad we get when one of our athletes does well... or not, we support no matter what!!
