During my time in Delft I cycled this road many times on my racing bike. One time, at 3:30, I was told to stop by a man standing in the middle of the road. Being a solo female cyclist I decided the safest thing would be to continue riding... a few seconds later I ended up in the middle of a herd of sheep trying to cross the road. Both the farmer and I found it quite hilarious, beautiful stretch of road!

Quite a story, thanks for sharing! 🐑

[@anniek4681]

@@iBakSteen Are there traffic lights in areas like that? I do understand her dicision. And to be honest. If i dont feel safe because of my surroundings, and there is a red traffic sign. If there were no cars and safe to cross, i wouldnt stop either. I do not scare easily, due to my job. I am 5'7" (1,75m) and build accordingly. So if i dicide to run a red trafficlight, i am really uncomfortable.

[@Rotarson]

4:01 What a beautiful scene! Well done, I hope this goes viral.

[@carmenl163]

I'd love to see this same area again in spring, with all the cow parsley blooming in the ditches. Also, seeing the pollard willows with their light green leaves is simply amazing! I live near Hoorn, and the scenery there is a bit similar. Absolutely breathtaking!

[@FrankHeuvelman]

I think it will be kinda hard to get both trains into the same position to pass each other right at the railroad crossing the camera was heading to. That was a joke.

[@camonthemove]

Absolutely! I’m looking forward to riding through that area more in a month or two

[@carmenl163]

I was born there, there were a few houses next to the train track!

[@stephanmuller1681]

the western part of the Netherlands, called Holland, is largely below sea level. You see high dikes, water pumping stations and ditches everywhere. Everything to pump out the water, to prevent flooding. The Netherlands is a fluvial part of the river Rhine (which originates in the Swiss mountain area of the Alps), also called a delta, created tenthousands of years ago. The central and eastern parts of the Netherlands were formed in the last ice age, and higher up there is less risk of flooding. Many old original windmills were used to pump water away.

[@camonthemove]

Thanks for adding that info!

[@leokramp9787]

Not totally correct. The river Maas, which originates in France, also ends in the Netherlands (Rotterdam). The ditches you mentioned also have an important function in our irrigation system

[@hendman4083]

And lastly there is de Schelde river, coming from Belgium as well.........

[@Butlerbob]

But most importantly forget to mention this "scientist" and that is??? The Dutch built the west of the country all by themselves with a little help from Mother Nature!! Now stop complaining that the Netherlands is ±6.5 meters below sea level, so what? You will only live in one of the Alpine countries where you have to be wary of falling rocks and avalanches, which are much more dangerous than it will be here, I live 4 high so it doesn't bother me😇🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Based on the thumbnail, I thought 'I know where that is!' Then seeing the first few minutes, I doubted it, but around 3:30 I realised you were on the road itself, I'm usually on the cycle path some 30 meters to the left, then it suddenly all aligned 🙂Lovely part that is indeed!

[@wkrijthe]

Should give more info than just "Groeneweg." Info, by the way, that I couldn't see on tv. Luckily, the only clue I needed to find this road was the house with "Vi et animo" on the wall. That house is Groeneweg 23, Schiedam. Good quality there, no problem reading that latin phrase. :)

[@erikthehalfabee6234]

And to think this is a part of the randstad, a urban region with 7 million people. Amsterdam and Rotterdam are only 40 minutes apart.

[@ronaldvanhemiksem3544]

Definitely not the most ugly part of the Netherlands. Yes, it is between some crowded cities, but the place itself is quiet and peaceful. And the typical landscape of Holland. Midden-Delfland is a stunning countryside area in the middle of the Randstad with even beautiful nature, for example 'De Vlietlanden', which you can explore best by boat. Tip for a visit during summer time.

[@edmondmuller7082]

@@ronaldvanhemiksem3544 Well, let's conclude that everyone has it's own perspective of beautiness. To me, West and South Netherlands are an example of how you can destroy a landscape if you give full priority to car's and economy. South Holland is even worse. A stamp of 2 football fields in the middle of concrete to me is not nature, but a garden. Find out yourself is maybe best. But good to know for foreigners that there are much more beautiful country sides in the Netherlands that the West en South. I moved away from that part of the Netherlands ages ago and I am still grateful for it, seeing my old friends still live in that chaotic part. Always glad when I can leave again to East.:-)
