      In English they're called 'stumbling stones', as people literally stumble over them with hardly a notice anymore. 💔
      I have photos of the one placed in the Lange Kerkstraat, Goes, Zeeland - Hier woonde JOZEPH STIBBE Geb. 1904 / Vermoord 09-07-1943

    I've lived, worked and been part of a Dutch family for 25 years. This is the first I've heard of this, and I've never seen a squirrel in the Netherlands.
    Really enjoyed this street folklore - thank you

      You're welcome.
      Squirrels are quite shy, so you have to be lucky, I guess. Btw, you won't be the only one not knowing these things 😁
      More to follow, i have a whole list of surprises.

      on quiet streets you often see them jumping between trees from one side of the road to the other side.
      but you barely see them walking around on the ground, they mainly stay in the trees and only come down when they feel safe and are searching for a snack.
      i think the best chance of seeing one is just before the sun comes up, at least that's the time i mostly see them. (before the humans start to make to much noise)

    Such an interesting and curious video! Never knew anything about all the stuff: ecoducts, Eruv, tripping stones and gnom doors ! Such a nice end of your video! Why dont other countries do such tiny curious things for children.?( I will definitelly create and put some of the gnom doors in our playgrounds in France ❤😊

      I think some of these things are quite unknown. You might see them, but not even register them, especially the second one😁.

    You should give credit to German artist Gunter Demnig who is the creator of the Stolpersteine project, you can find these little stones all over Europe, not just in Haarlem 😉

    Have studies been done on whether animals, especially squirrels, use these crossings?

      Yes, Google is your friend... This is from one which isn't featured in the video. Dutch publications normally have English summary.
      The bridges work, but it takes some patience sometimes for the animals to find the route.
      The image from the video is from a wildlife camera in the structure, so it is quite easy to count, i guess.

      It's the Netherlands.... Of course there has been a well funded, extremely costly study about the migration of squirrels using any of the the well funded, extremely costly bridges or ecoducts compared to the migration of monkeys in Africa only using natural resources. It ain't Dutch if it doesn't cost much.

    There are no secrets. Americans thing that everything they don't know is a secret, hidden or something they need to reveal for clickbait.
    And the contents do not fit the title.
