Flevoland has been a province since 1986 not 1960s. My family and I moved to Lelystad (Flevoland’s capital) from Amsterdam the week that it became so. Now we live in Los Angeles, CA USA. I visited Maastricht once and remember absolutely loving it. A gorgeous, beautiful city. My mom and I will be visiting in 2023 and we definitely want to visit Limburg.
Oh yes I know! I should've clarified it and used different words , but I meant that the area was finished in the 60s (with finished I mean the polder creation and some housing, not the entire province with amenities, infrastructure, etc.; although the first people moved to Lelystad in September 1967): the eastern polder was done in 1957 and the southern polder in 1968. The Noordoostpolder was obviously way earlier and was dry in 1942. But yes, Maastricht is absolutely stunning; I'm so glad you loved it! Limburg is going to be a perfect province to add to your trip; it's home to so many beautiful places and has so much history (and great food!).
I'm going to the Netherlands and Belgium in a few months, to see where my family lived before America. My mother is Dutch and Northwest (Westphalen) German near the Netherlands, and my dad is German and Flemish. I look forward to seeing where the tenBroecks, Van Lanen, Van Renslaer, Boegart, Wynkoop, Eckerson, Vlierboom, Swits, Kellenaar, Van Breestede, the Professesor and Maryanne, etc. came from.
Finally! I was planning a trip to the Netherlands but I was looking for country side. And I was tired of everyone telling me I should go to Amsterdam even though I said it wasn't what I was looking for on this trip. Love your tips. I think I found the province I wanna visit. Beautiful nature, small citys and amazing Historical places. Thank you
Ahh I'm so glad to hear that! You will absolutely love your visit to Limburg. And I'm very happy that you want to visit The Netherlands beyond Amsterdam. If you have any questions about Limburg and things to do in certain places, I'm more than happy to help you out and give you more specific tips (as I haven't published a lot of articles about Limburg just yet; I'm getting there, but it's a lot haha)!
My grandmother was from Eijsden and I still have relatives in Gronsveld, Kaider en Keer (my moms cousins are the Verstappens). One of the places everyone should visit is the American Cemetery at Margraten.
Some of my kinfolk were from around Maastricht, so I figured I'd have a look at your video. I took a train through Masstricht in 1986, and remember how beautiful it was. I wonder what the impact was of the Spanish occupation of the Netherlands?
Thanks for the very informative traveling guide! Its around 10years ago that I was there the last time. Are there coffeeshops to find in the area nowadays? Hope to make it next spring again to lovely and cuuute Limburg🥰🥰🥰 Greetings from Switzerland
You're very welcome! There are still coffee shops to find in the area, but whether they sell to foreign visitors honestly depends on the municipality. Some municipalities, such as Sittard and Maastricht require you to be a Dutch citizen in order to enter (though it's not always enforced). And then you have the city of Venlo where the municipality does allow tourists to enter the coffee shops.
Hi! A lot has happened in the past year until now; from losing my grandma to covid to being burned out to getting drugged to losing my cat who I’ve had for 21 years, etc. It has been taking me longer to manage everything than I initially expected, but I’m getting back into it again. This upcoming Wednesday there will finally be a new video again; this time about public transportation in The Netherlands. Thank you for being so kind 😄

Hello! 1.Does Frisian and Limburgish share similar words with the Dutch language? Which of the two do you think is closer/sound closer to Dutch? Thanks.
Hi!! There are similar words in both languages with Dutch, but at the same time they are very different too. Limburgish has been influenced a lot by the German dialects they speak in that part of Germany, as well as Flemish. And Frisian to me is a real mix of German dialects from the North, English and Dutch. For me personally, I find Frisian to be closer sounding to current Dutch, but that might also be because I speak a dialect called Westfries (which is influenced by the Frisian language).
@@TheDutchcountryside As a Limburger, I hear many similarities between our regional languages in Limburg (each village and town has its own version of the Limburg language) and Afrikaans. The intonation and general sound, especially the vowels, are amazingly alike. Also my South African friends always say that they can understand Limburgs, but not Dutch.
@@marie-jacqueline2180 Not only in my opinion. It's because you keep speaking in your speech defect even when there are non-locals in your company. You give outsiders the feeling that you're constantly gossiping about them. I've worked with people from Limburg for nearly 3 years and they never spoke to me. I could have worked with 6 dead people and I'd probably have more conversations. Like I said: Limburg is beautiful, it's just a shame that Limburgers live there.
@@williamgeardener2509 You seem to have an derogatory opinion Dutch Limburg is about 110 km long. The longest province in the Netherlands. So dilects change over that distance. Dialect is our first language. Dutch is second. Our history was quite eventfull. Many rulers, many changes.. People tended to speak their dialect first. If you are the only Dutch in de group it's the majority counts. If you worked in Limburg for some time, why didn't try to learn to understand it at least. Make an effort at least.

Such an informative video, thank you! Limburg is the province that is closest to us German, so we're always looking for new ideas!

Note that Limburg can also be a good base for trips in nearby parts of Germany (NRW) and Belgium (Belgian Limburg, Liege and even Ardennes)

Thank you! 😄
Ik wou dat dit channel bestond toen ik in Nederland was! Dit soort tips kunnen van een goede ervaring een geweldige maken!
Wat fijn om te horen! Dank je wel!😄

Many beautiful and interesting places to visit... there are places with very nice green surroundings...very interesting...
So glad you like it, it's a beautiful province and indeed very green!

Thank you so much for this informative video. I am planning to visit once covid has been eradicated.
Ah amazing and I'm so glad it was useful to you! You will absolutely love it here :)

het is maas niet meuse
@@tech-itpsw6610 They tend to call it the Meuse in English and as this video is in English, I chose to use Meuse instead of Maas.
But you didn't mention Gennep, this is a wonderful town! xx
Haha oops! Gennep is one of them that was left out, but is definitely a lovely small town too!

Dispite our hilly landscape,we don't wear helmets on our bicycles either!🚴♂👍
As it should be :) (unless you're a 'wielrenner', then you should wear it)
Do you teach Nederland's?
I do not. Teaching is an entirely different cup of tea that I don’t think is my forte haha
My god vrouw Wil jy nie asseblief n script maak nie?
I'm not watching this because of Limburg I'm.only watch it because she is georgeous
Why've you deleted my comment xD ?
I didn’t? I haven’t seen your comment😅
@@TheDutchcountryside Oh, ok never mind... My comment was „You're so hot” and it disappeared... I've thought YT deleted my comment :P
Or maybe because of that my comment evaporated X D

The province of Limburg is beautiful, the people living there suck, but the landscape is very nice.
“Thanks”from Joop from Limburg😢
The people of Limburg (of whom I am one) do not 'suck'. What a vile expression. You probably didn't behave in a civilised manner when you were here.
How is it that we, peoples living in Limburg suck in your opinion?
