There is a Giant Pyramid in The Netherlands

We could not believe that there was an actual, huge, pyramid out in the countryside of The Netherlands! In this video, you can see us exploring the Pyramid of Austerlitz.
We made the day trip from Amsterdam to the cute area just east of Utrecht but, of course, needed to eat before we went pyramid hunting. So we stopped at The Teahouse Rhijnauwen to try their self proclaimed TASTIEST PANCAKES IN THE UNIVERSE! We really loved the vibe and food there!

✼ ABOUT US ✼
We are Nate and Katrina, two Americans living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and traveling as much as we can to see what there is to see! Call us expats, immigrants, whatever... just call us already.
We balance work life with travel... as best we can! We would love to visit every country in Europe while we live here, and definitely keep a list of our global “must visit” destinations.
We try to give you a true view of us and how we travel and explore the world. Lots of food, definitely some jokes, and probably some swearing…. Hope you enjoy taking these trips with us!

Omg! This is so cool! A weird pyrimid in the Netherlands 😮🥰 I would love to try that pineapple pancake. It lookd amazing!

[@klettervestje8]

If you like the the view of the "Utrechtse heuvelrug" you could have combined your trip with a visit to the watchtower in the Kaapse bossen in Doorn, Just a few miles away, nice walk and a beautiful view.

Children and drunk people 🤣🤣🤦 spot on.

Trip suggestion: the American military cemetery in Margraten (Limburg province). During the summer season with leaves on the trees absolutely worth a visit. Very impressive and emotional to see the names of 10,000 American soldiers who gave their lives for the liberation of The Netherlands and Belgium. The historic and attractive town of Valkenburg is nearby, the two destination can be visited in one day.

The highest point from the Netherlands is on Saba, because that belongs to the Netherlands. Kind regards, Roelof from the Netherlands.

Thanks for watching!

Saint Alphonso''s pancakes are the best.😊

In Dutch we have a saying that children and drunk people always tell the truth

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

This is very true. 😂

[@cryptocrypto8736]

I have never seen that pyramid, during the holidays worth looking at👌. And you can immediately see that it was built by the French, when we built it the 'tower' would have stood upright😜

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

[@jsb7975]

When Napoleon conquered the Dutch Republic he made Amsterdam officialy the second capital of his empire, and installed his brother as king of "the kingdom of HOLLAND" (the Netherlands was the only and first federal republic , so before the French revolution and he admired the dutch republic. (And made it a kingdom with relativ independence) His brother went too far in integrating with the Dutch and had to abdicate his crown, after HOLLAND became just a part of the French empire. (Not for long though) After the defeat of Napoleon the Dutch became the kingdom of the Netherlands with the son of the latest stateholder Willem the fifth of Orange (who earlier fled to England) Anyway The Netherlands was a republic long before all that. (And it typically still is)

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Thanks for the info! Super interesting. 🙌🏻

[@roodborstkalf9664]

Napoleon didn't conquer the United Provinces. Pichegru and Daendels did in 1795.

[@charlescorbee9498]

Piramide of Austerlitz was built by the army of Napoleon 😊 In whales they built a mountain! There is a movie about it called: The Englishman went up a hill and came down a mountain. About a group of survivors measuring the mounting in Whales. One mountain fell short, so it was degraded to a hill. The locals weren’t happy about this and decided to fill up the hill, so it becomes a mountain again! This was about a hundred year ago. During the filming they measured the mountain again and found out the ground level went down to a hill. The locals repeat the hole process making it a mountain 😅 kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5C0eqSPYrNsadksi=EM6Gjnf1GyFJ9kT3

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Very cool! Thanks for the info!

[@patrickleyte1175]

soldiers of the army send there by napoleon, they were bordered and so dug the pyramid

[@peterjanssen2105]

nice and interesting video again, shame about the rain, but it's no different here

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

You would think we would be used to it by now. 😂

[@dispiedark8682]

a donkey is a ezel ! We have a pyramid, O it is the France, we did not appreciate being French. i know the hunnebergen in Drenthe those are pretty cool (stuff like stone hegde period stones like in UK ) it's the Netherland, you wake up with sun in your face, by the time your out of the shower you have rain, after breakfast its sunny you step outside and get rained on welcome to the Netherlands.

[@adventuresbyrust]

Sheep jokes...😂

[@joostprins3381]

It wasn’t French territory, it was Dutch occupied by the French.

[@Jan.Folkersma]

This theehouse Rhijnauwen should sponsor you. As from today business will be blooming. Too bad Nate didn't get to pet the donkeys. You sharing both sweet and savory pancakes ❤ Syrup we call 'stroop' here. Some people cut wafles in half and put this 'stroop' in between. You should try. The drone shots are exceptional. You explaining some Dutch history to your Dutch viewers is so Kafkaëske? I don't think many Dutchies have heard about this pyramid and even less know the story behind it. Your channel is both entertaining and informative. I never would have linked this pyramid with George Orwell. How about this Robert Redford movie 'The Last Castle'? The slo-mo sequence is why this whole Internet thing was invented in the first place. The secret of the universe hidden in the obelisk? Like the number 42? You will be going to Paris during the Olympics! Wow. For people who don't like sports or other people you will be going way out of your comfort zones. We are not worthy! I hope you will support Team NL. French crêpes are way overrated and too expensive. Don't tell me you will be going to Disneyland. Almost 10k subscribers. Come on people! Share the love. 💛

Ananas on your pancake does strange things to the human brain... 😂😋😎 So kids, don't do ananas on your pizza OR pancake!

[@DamaxThomas]

Is that the Austerlitz where the French lost a battle?

[@tvaandering]

Hi Nate, it's not just donkeys outside 😎. But um, how were those pancakes? By the way, you're right about the weather, which has been very mediocre this year so far. Luckily you have two umbrellas (in the car).

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

I guess we are just very Dutch now because we aren’t using umbrellas in the rain anymore (although, not by choice.) 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@tvaandering]

@@nateandkatrinadotheworld Thank you for posting these videos. I like your somewhat cynical and sarcastic/humorous lyrics.

Pyramide van Austerlitz -> remembrance of Napoleon’s presence in our country

That guy really got around. 😂

It’s almost like nature is making up for all the rain that didn’t fall between 2018 and 2022.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

It sure seems like it!

[@reneolthof6811]

Your knowlegde of Dutch history needs some brushing up, but the pyramid is actually kinda cool!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Ya, we definitely do not claim to be historians but at least you got to see something interesting! 😂

[@roodborstkalf9664]

@@nateandkatrinadotheworld True, it's a nicely made video. I'm a lazy person who does tourism by KZbin now for 7-8 years. Production quality of your videos is high, so it's without saying you deserve more subscribers.

[@j0esoap]

I've only watched so far as the pancake comment. they better have very good drugs in them or I'm closing the window.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Hopefully you didn’t close the window because (spoiler alert) there’s no controlled substances in these pancakes. 😝
