There is about 350 meter hight difference between the highest and the lowest point of the Netherlands.

Loved your cameo. It worked waaaaay too well. Ralph is too cute for this video, it doesn't work for a dark and scary video, or at least it's meant to be. He's too fluffy, I want to hug him.
Yes, seems fascinating to me too. And I don't 'cyclist.' I think he was just playing on the Halloween theme. That or he really found something down there he couldn't broadcast... Dum dum duuum!
@@ohnononowhydidi344 That would make it even more romantic. Imagine all the candles and lanterns everywhere, and imagine the smell of all the delicious dinners that are served. 😍😍😋😋😋
@@renatoherren4217 I agree that on one hand it sounds really nice and romantic, but at the same time I can't help myself and think that those lit candles and smell of dinners could be something more sinister... In daytime it is safe to walk around (as long as you don't venture too deep into the tunnels of course), but do not stay there after dusk when the candles starts to light up in the windows. Aah yes, I would love to go there and just make up tales of horror and despair and just about scare the shit of myself. XD
Honestly this village could star in both a horrormovie and a romcom, I really want to go there. Usually I think that the places you visit are neat and worth a watch, but this is the first place that goes on my bucketlist!!!
An old aunt of mine has one of those semi-troglodytic houses near the Loire. She's always lived there. It is EXTREMELY cozy. All the excavated parts have curvy shapes, and the builder's creativity is not limited by the same rules of structural integrity as with masonry. Lots of alcoves, funny shaped stairs, odd rooms, it's a great place for kids, and very comfy for adults. It is gently silent, this "Tuffeau" limestone gives off little reverberation. And though of course you need good electric lighting, the white stone returns the light brightly but gently. With a few nice wooden handrails and adequately placed thick rugs, it is one of the most comfortable and appeasing places I've ever been.
@@mats7492 How do you think Tim got to 1000 viewers? One video about the Afsluitdijk and UA-cam seeming to tell everyone in the Netherlands about it...
When you live near Saumur and see this video, are they reasons to not click ? Super video, a good way to learn about my region and English too. Thank you ! A new french fan
I love your videos because you don't go to all of the big popular tourist locations. It's nice learn about the smaller, more overlooked/unknown places. A lot more interesting in my opinion. :)

If you can't quite manage a French holiday yet, why not challenge yourself to a ride along the Netherton tunnel from Dudley to Birmingham. Very dark. Very creepy. Nice cafes at the end in gas street basin
I rode through these caves during a 6 week cycle tour a few years ago. That day was probably my favourite of the whole journey. The caves are part of the Loire a Velo route, which I recommend for anybody that likes wine, chateaux and quaint villages.
Damn those houses look so cool, I'd love to live in a cave home. The natural rock plus staying the same temperature would create an awesome living experience
If you hadn't put the creepy music and titled the video this way, I would never have thought this was "creepy". I can see your point, but I love caves & caverns, as well as architecture that blends itself with the natural surroundings. Literally, my ideal home is pretty much like this. I'm so in love with the aesthetic you've shown here, aaaaa.
Salut Tim ! Nous sommes actuellement en vacances à Saumur et je voulais te remercier car grâce à toi, nous avons pu découvrir avec nos filles ce magnifique petit village et ces souterrains hors du temps. Une très belle balade 🤩. Merci encore pour tes vidéos qui sont vraiment très sympa 😊
In Valkenburg and in Maastricht , Sint Pietersberg, there are similar caves. Most of the old town of Valkenburg and the castle ruins were build with the sandstone delved from the caves. Open for public with a guide. There’s also a biking rout through the caves, with guide.
Thanks...I always listen right to the end to put another smile on my face and I was not disappointed today! The ending of the video (from 7:07) "Jungfraubahn: The Highest Railway In Europe" is the most memorable though!
There are similar caves in the Seine valley in and around La Roche-Guyon. The village is "famous" for hosting the HQ of the German "Atlantikwall" defences under General Rommel in its château during World War II. And yes, they digged some caves, too - probably inspired by local customs (mainly as bunkers). And if that isn't interesting enough already, Monet lived in Giverney, the next village down the Seine (not in a cave though).
So these two pieces of black tarmac are sitting in a pub, telling the owner how hard they are. In walks a piece of red tarmac. The black pieces of tarmac hide under a table. After the red piece of tarmac has gone, the owner asks the black pieces of tarmac: 'I thought you two were so hard?' -'yeah mate, but that one is a fookin cycle path!'
I love the sarcastic French accented bits! The best thing about the English, is their distain of the French. I lived in France for four years, so I have some love for it, but I also enjoy poking fun at them!..
I've driven past this village on the road by the river quite a few times but never realised that the tunnels go right through to vineyards. Fascinating. Thank you.
I'm a bit late to the party, Tim, but that was an excellent video. The whole family have just been sat around this morning turning what is normally a rather chaotic time into an impromptu sit on the sofa. Lovely.
I am glad you finally discovered cycling. You should do all your trips on a bike. When you get a foldable 20" (e-) bike, you can take it with you in all busses and trains without extra charge.
Always leaves me in awe how our ancestors made it so we can live today. The Damp and the cold. Southern France is quite friendly, but the British Isles. ( Except for the Channel ). Shiver.
I have really enjoyed almost all of your videos tonight. I had a blitz on them! Most of them have brought back fantastic memories, particularly those in Switzerland. Keep up the good work.
The music makes me think of Romania... so maybe after the Euro Lockdown, you could head over that way, perhaps to see some trains or train journeys? Surely theres a Transylvania Trains?!
There's an idea. But Transylvania is probably the most touristic area of Romania as it is, while there are other interesting places there, like the Moldovan monasteries, or the impressive Danube delta. Or the forestry railways near Viseu de Sus, once an impressive network of narrow gauge railways in Romania, now only a few remnants remain, with a tourist steam train operation on parts of it.
wow. i wouldn't say the bits you showed are particularly creepy... it looked calming and inviting... like the perfect place for a little bistro... with the vines hanging down and the sun coming in... just pretty!
Very hole-some content on this channel. It is so matter of fact and informative. I've lived in france for 10 years now, I'm definitely going to go and check it out one day!
Funny how everyone has a very different sensibility as to what is "creepy" and what is not. I actually thought those troglodyte houses looked beautiful. They do have a "mysterious" vibe to them but I still thought this was quite beautiful to watch. Thanks for the ride !
Hello Tim, yesterday I heard about a village in a river in the pyrenees. Apperently it changes possession between France and Spain each six months. I didnt fact check but I figured it be right up your alley of interests. If they don't have there own station, you can always take a childs train set there to increase the towns appeal for you :).
I know it was Halloween, but the music is so intense. My eyes are saying "What an enchanting place to spend a day exploring." My ears are saying "Get out of there man!"
I have now watched all of your videos twice. Love them and would really appreciate some new ones, What the world needs now is to chase the Covid lock down blues away with The Tim Travelers trails, trains, hills, cave, bridge, house, cat, and grass! Wisconsin USA
See, I wouldn't have realised how shamefully lacking in cats your videos are if you hadn't pointed it out. Now I am outraged and honour-bound to post angry comments about it throughout the night. The absolute horror of having a UA-cam channel without cats. Have a good long think about what you've done, Tim. For real though, I always enjoy your videos and this was a fun spooky one. That village looks so cool, I love towns that look like they're sprouting from (or being swallowed by, as you put it) nature. Thanks as always for making me smile and making my evening more interesting. Hope lockdown isn't too rough on you.
I can't help but feel that a weather balloon bouncing down a bunch of medieval tunnels would give off way more of a Dungeons and Dragons vibe than anything spyish.
I'm French. My father has lived in a troglodytic house for a few years. They're lovely but can get very damp if you don't have very efficient ventilation. Also rats love this tuffeau stone/limestone because it's so easy to dig through.
Many years ago i visited a town in France called Tours. When we were there we went to a restaurant carved into the rock, much like this. So I had to pause the video to check a map to see if it's in the same area. Sure thing, it's next town over. Amazing places in that area.
Perhaps one day you'll visit the opal mining town of Coober Pedy in South Australia. I won't say it's as picturesque as this but does have a certain rough charm. I think. Yes, I've been there. Unfortunately, the most my (now late) wife saw of the place was the inside of the hospital because she had pneumonia. The people there were very kind.
Je connaissais pas du tout, c'est super mignon ! Merci beaucoup pour cette découverte. Bon perso je trouve pas ça creepy du tout mais ça donne vraiment envie d'y aller ! 😁
I love how you always make an effort to tell us how accessible the stuff you show is for people in Wheelchairs is.
+1 for noticing that!
Yeah, I'm thinking he's the Rick Steves of accessible walking paths of northwestern Europe! Tim, make sure you compile a book at some point.
Ya cause you know people in wheelchairs are Gung-ho for a trail ride.
wheelchair access, walking difficulty level, and restroom availability , should be apart of every UA-camr travel video
Darn it Tim. Yes I'm Dutch. Yes I like cycling content. And you're absolutely justified in saying that this is something for your Dutch viewers. I just don't like how right you are.

Me: „I think those caves and tunnels look beautiful and stunning“.
The music: „You‘re not supposed to do that“.
I laughed out loud because of the psychopath / cyclepath joke. Just one minute in, I can already tell this is going to be a good one.
Yeah man, I'm still laughing 🤣 "World's creepiest..." "psychopath!"
The house at 1:54 sort of looks like a skull.
Those audience members have a very cute cat. Great video Tim!
Hi! I love your videos they’re really fun and interesting!
Edit: I can’t believe you got to go the Bude tunnel it’s such an amazing piece of art
I love how you british UA-camrs work together. Thats so solidaric of you. btw I love your cats!

I think Tim’s channel showed-up on my feed because I started watching Chris. It has come full circle.
Thanks, Chris, but how were you able to see our cat? 😉
Wouldn't the Dutch need mountain bikes for such steep grades?
:-)
I saw that turnoff into the first cave and thought, right, that's me getting off my bike and walking!
We Dutch can do almost anything on a single speed granny bike.
I live close to the 3 landen punt (Tim made a video about that on this channel), I'm used to hills

"There is a nice cycle path with caves..."
And another clueless tourist falls victim to the isolated pagan tribes of Europe and their archaic rituals.
