1. Drukkerijmuseum

Reviewed By John V - Apeldoorn, The Netherlands
Het Drukkerijmuseum ligt aan de rand van het oude centrum van Meppel en is een pud pakhuis gehuisvest. Het museum telt 3 etage, die ook met een lift bereikbaar zijn. Het museum staat vol het allerhande drukkerijmachine. Ook lopen er vrijwilligers rond, die deskundige uitleg geven. Hier en daar wordt een demonstratie van het oude drukkersambacht gegeven. Voor veel jongeren zal dit museum een openbaring zijn. Niets digitaal, maar alles handmatig. Leter voor letter werd er vroeger drukwerk gemaakt.

Giethoorn has gotten some listings in travel sites about being one of the most beautiful spots in the world, so on a recent trip to the Netherlands, we had to make a stop to see for ourselves. Definitely glad we did, right down to renting the little motorized punt boat. There are small barges that you can take you out into the canals through town, but you'll have a LOT more fun if you do it yourself. Truth be known, there are LOTS of companies renting boats - we enjoyed Smit Giethoorn but don't feel that they are the only option. Regardless of whom you go with, GO TO Giethoorn!

We hebben eenmotorige wandeling gemaakt. In ons hotel lag een route van route.nl. Deze wandeling hebben we gelopen. Deels door weilanden en deels door het bos.

Bonbon Atelier A3 offers Bonbon (Chocolate) making workshops of about 3 hours in their workshop in Nijeveen. We did this with a group of ten parents and adult children. The very friendly and capable coach Jeroen split us in groups of two persons and each group made two types of Bonbons. Quality ingredients were provided, notably Callebaut chocolate. We also made a bowl of chocolate in which the Bonbons could be carried. Everybody left with about 600 grams of pretty good tasting chocolates! We had an amazing time, surpassing our expectations.

We drove through this beautiful little town to catch a glimpse of the townspeople who still dress in traditional Dutch clothing. It reminded me a bit of an Amish village in the United States. Even driving through is worth it because the little gingerbread type houses with immaculate yards and green shutters was beautiful.
We wanted to see more and so we stopped at the museum which told about the faith and traditions of those who resided here. It happened to be closed on Monday, but the ladies still let us in to take a peek. It was worth it because we were able to take a picture with one of the ladies. They don't like getting their pictures taken just walking around, But at the museum it was ok. They didn't speak English, which was a first for us in Holland. It was very small but would have been interesting to me had it been open.

Nice to visit the graves of the farmer people in the Netherlands, 3.500 years ago. In a beautiful scenery.
8. Dierenpark Taman Indonesia

Reviewed By RHAHJ - Nijmegen, The Netherlands
This zoo is specialized in Indonesian animals, mainly birds and a few mammals. But I also saw crickets and a snake (in a bathroom setting), apparently to indicate Indonesian living conditions. It is quite small, but I found the animals lovely. Especially the Goffins cockatoo was adorable. It is a bit far away from the inhabited world, but a visit can easily be combined with a bike trip to the papilorama and hunebeds in Havelte. And Steenwijk and Giethoorn are nearby.

This place offers you information about all what you can find in the nature in that area, animals, insects, water creature, birds etc. The shops sells books, souvenirs and things that are made from and for the nature such as bird house, insect hotel and also cosmetic ( nature product) etc. You can also take a walk around this centre. You can also have a cup of coffee or tea. I like the sign of the rest room, it's sooo...... naturally.

Great place for a boat trip. Start at Belt-Schutsloot and do not miss Dwarsgracht, little Giethoorn without all the tourists. The water is shallow at places bit great for swimming. We managed to withstand the unwilling service at Geertien in Muggenbeet, if you can it is a comfotable stop. You can leave your boat alongside the restaurant garden. Do not try the pancakes, they are horrible!
