Now that I've seen most of the videos you've watched about the Netherlands, I can only conclude one thing. If you come here you should try to stay for a year, because you want to see so much, you can't do that in a few weeks :-)
I've always wondered what the NL would seem like to someone from a country as big as the US. In theory, you could visit all of the NL in two weeks but the historical content is so dense that you wouldn't learn anything in two weeks. How would a huge country with hardly any history (no offense) compare to a tiny country with dense history?
@@theGoogol Nature compensates a lot! I visited the USA five times for four to eight weeks and never got bored for a second. And apart from nature, cities have different character, with other people and cultures.
And you are very welcome. Watch all your videos and it’s heartwarming to see your amazement and respect. You are a real friend x
There is also an "avondvierdaagse" (evening four day walk). All primary schools participate and children walk (voluntarily) for two hours in the evening for four days. At the end, their parents welcome them with flowers and sweets at the finish line. It is held all over the country.
Yeah used to love those
Oh god, de avondvierdaagse... I remember setting off with a small backpack filled with stuff my mom thought I'd "need", like seventy capri sun's and thirty packs of Liga. XD
@@TheBaronessIsAwesome Haha overprotecting mums are bad for you long term!
@@ronaldderooij1774 Nah, once you grow up and go broke, you need those capri suns and Liga's ;)
@@TheBaronessIsAwesome 😁
My mom finished the Vierdaagse 11 times despite weak ankles, before having to quit due to problems with her knees. My dad died 6 weeks before he was going to participate for the 15th time. He finished 10 times after suffering a heart attack and 8 times after having half of one lung removed. Incredibly proud of both of them.
Proud of their achievements too sister. Dad was a Die Hard 4 days march enthousiast (and mom too)
Most important thing about “de vierdaagse” is the Nijmeegse zomerfeesten (summer festival a week long party!) people all over the world come and party, and a bit of walking to. The most fun in the Netherlands to enjoy once in your life, and when it goes dark outside the real party gets started.
Its amazing! Every year I give up one week of my summer holiday to work at Camp Heumensoord, where all the military live for a week. I work the night-shift from 1 am till 9.30 am to serve them breakfast before they start their march of the day. Hopefully the Walk of the World will return in 2022!
I’ve done this once. It was wonderful. I had to walk 50k’s to get the medal so I did just that. Which indeed meant an early start every morning. Nevertheless people - in the thousands - were lined up along the route to cheer the participants on that early in the morning. All along the route they’d play music, either in a dj style fashion or whole bands playing live. No need to bring food or drink if you’re participating: plenty on offer from the locals who live along the route. The whole vibe is one of cheerfulness and festivity. It’s really a great experience.
What is not mentioned in the video that during this week there are many festivities. The center of Nijmegen is jam-packed. There is live music everywhere, there are festivities for children, there are some podia used by professional artists. A lot of different nationalities having a big party together.
Also: All these walkers need a bed to sleep at night and not to far from the start of the walk. There are not enough hotelbeds etc. What happens is that many people volunteer beds in their home. They provide a room to stay with a good bed. They provide breakfast and depending on the arrangement also lunch package and dinner. Sometimes they will give them a ride to the start. They will get some money for their expenses but not more than that. Some people come back every year at the same adress. Some long lasting friendships got started this way.
The last day is very special. Musical bands will join in during the last 5 kilometers. There is a field at 5 km before the finish. Many people wait their for their friends and when complete they start the last 5 km. The whole 5 km, there is one big crowd cheering on the walkers. People give flowers, preferably gladiolen. And again music everywhere.
Police-officers have to regulate traffic and crowd, but there are almost never problems. And when possible the police officers join in with hossen ( kind of dancing), cheering etc.
Thats what we do in our our spare time. Nice things
Brings back memories: as a kid we would cheer on all the people and we would walk a few metres on the hand of a military guy, before running back to my parents, we would get a military sticker or batch..
Same for me. My mothers family came from Nijmegen and a lot of them walked De Vierdaagse. I had a booklet with a lot of badges and stickers. Sadly lost it during one of the removals in my life. But for us children it was the event of the year!😃🥰
Back in 1986 I was cutting and patching up the blisters of our fellow military brothers and sisters who did the 40 km or 50 km walks with loaded backpack. We often went to our American colleagues to get some of their novel patching material like second skin gel. They came fully equipped, ready for battle so to speak. They also brought an actual huge shower tent that we could use while the walkers were on route. In the evening after dinner we would exchange small military items, such as badges, lighters, and even berets. They just loved black berets.
HeyDad, I did the same but in 1987! Was stationed in Appingedam.
They cover it on the 8 o'clock news here every year. Couple of years ago they had coverage of two spot checks that found soldiers in some military delegations who had cheated on the weight of their pack and got disqualified. In one case it was hilarious: the guy's sergeant was standing there. He wasn't saying anything, but the expression on his face was sort of like "someone is going to be cleaning latrines... for the rest of his LIFE".
Been there 19 times... But I love the atmosphere, the positive feeling, doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. People from 70 countries from all around the world going for that single goal. And if you can't make it walking for four days, the whole city Nijmegen is one big party... Highly Combustible I do recommend this, you are the right type of guy to experience this, with or without the walk... I'm also a former military and everyone should have been there once, a week to remember.
I used to live next to the Wedren (start&finish). Sometimes the early starters sing "You'll never walk alone" at 4 in the morning. First you think: what is that? And then more and more ppl join in until the whole crowd is singing. Great way to wake up. I always chose the early shift that week and it always took a little bit longer to go to work. But never mind...it's De Vierdaagse.
Greetings from Nijmegen! I am from Nijmegen, but I never walked the Vierdaagse, I want do it though! But the weeklong parties (there are like 100+ different parties going on at the same time by all kinds of artists and different genres) is also amazing.
And much harder to complete😅
Your dutch keeps sounding better
Even if you don't participate, it's always a big party! 👌🏼🍻✌🏼
We also have the De Strandzesdaagse. This 140 kilometer tour is organized every year in the last week of July. Realize that this means walking through and over the sandy beaches of the Netherlands. If you can complete this, you can walk the Nijmegen vierdaagse . We have also De avond 4 daagse: De avond 4 daagse is an annual walking event in the Netherlands and Suriname where you can walk for four days. You can walk 5, 10 and 15 kilometers in an evening. Many groups do this, such as schools and associations. But this is also done outside a group setting.
I have been participating in this Nijmegen 4-day event since 2006 and I have completed it 9 times! This year 2024 I will be running it for the 10th time! That is my aim. Unfortunately I had to give up a few times. But it's such a cool event! It really brings people together and especially on the final day, everyone helps each other to get in on time! The army from different countries are participating, and the police from different countries are participating and many more from emergency services from different countries. And everyone is going for the same goal and that is the finish line on Friday! I can't really explain what you feel when you have walked another day and you are encouraged by so many spectators. There's enough to watch on UA-cam to get an idea! Every walking day is special, but on Friday you feel a kind of tension and adrenaline in everyone before we can start! The feeling that we are all going to get this job done
Very great.😃👍👌
Respect for this people.👌
🌹🌹🍀
When I was in the Royal Dutch Navy…a long long time ago. I walked the Vierdaagse 3 times.It was a party!
Nice! My dad participated on the 50k route for around 35/38 times (i lost count) ... I was the support crew from the moment I could crawl.... Good memories
The 4day marches originally started as a military training march, military personnel has to walk 40k in full pack carrying a minimum of 10kg... Don't know if they still have to..
They opened it up to the public at some point and it's been a staple ever since
Iirc max of 40.000 walkers.. it's amazing
I am doing it every year. This year, in 2024 there will be 47.000 participants from 86 different countries and about 1.5 million visitors. It's awesome and I can't wait to start again the 4x50 km. 🙂
Wow!! That was cool as all heck.
De Vierdaagse is what Nijmegen is most famous for. There are four days of walking, but seven days of partying (always with the Snollebollekes one night). There is a tradition that when you leave the danceclub drunk at 4 or 5 am, you go to the start and cheer the walkers. I did that when I was younger 😉
My niece walks "De Vierdaagse" for decades. She is 61..
HXC.. are you sure you don't have Dutch ancestors 😂🇱🇺?
Come to the Netherlands for a year or so..,😜
You already have a lot of friends down here, so maybe you don't even need to stay in a hotel and you already know so much about the Dutch, the country etc etc.. It must almost feel like coming home.. You have like a whole fan base that will welcome you 😁😉
I'm very sure you will love it over here 🇱🇺
Bro your Dutch is realy good keep going😃👍🇳🇱
Lived there and participated once:-)
i lived my whole live in nijmegen and there is the whole week a big 'festival' in the city centre it is called 'the zomerfeesten' 7 days of parties in the city and it ends on the last day of die vierdaagse
Walked it twice. 40 and 50 km. Awesome.
wow, I came to know about your channel through your joost klein reactions and now I see you while looking for this event :D I'll be participating for the 4th time this year :) it's the best!! I hope they will play alot of Europapa this edition, it's a very fitting song for this event
I was one of the soldiers involved in building up the military camp Heumensoord in 1983 , we were for about 2 months in the field there building up all the tents and facilities , look back on it with fond memories !
you should watch the Flodder family. worst family in the Netherlands, the Flodder family was a TV series and 3 movies in the 90s really worth watching. Flodder in America 1992 is my favorite
I was only on the sidelines and the partys. LOL
Btw, a comment to the 11 cittys tour btw, the current dutch king entered the tour under a fake name when he was a prins
I have walked this event 4 times, 3 times succesfully! During Covid they cancelled this, but this year it finally will be organized again. Can't wait to walk again!
There are 3 distances 30km, 40km and 50km. (Distance per day) Soldiers always do the 50km, in full gear.
No they don't soldiers do 40 with backpack or 50 without.
The militairy walk 40km not 50
my mother and my brother and sister always ran it . i did 1 time. and a few times only on Fridays. my mother first ran 4 times 50 in apeldoorn and a week later 4 x 50 in nijmegen. is really fun over there. and sometimes got stuff from the soldiers.
Yeah it's great, it's the toughest one and sometimes it's too hot lately and they have to adjust the hours so they don't accidentally kill anyone. My cousins did it and one of them was crying at every step in the end and needed lots of encouragement because she had such blisters. The military has to do it at a certain speed and while packing a heavy backpack of a certain weight. I know foreign military are also very eager to join in but they draw lots or something as to who can go as there is only so much room.
What regular people have in their towns is the "evening four days" where you walk a far shorter route in your own town and loads of families with small kids do that one. Just having an evening stroll for most. It's very dutch I think, that sense of community in an organised way.
Done it 22 times this year (2022) as a military participant. first in a group, later from 2000 as an individual. My first time was in 1993, and after that I was hooked. Dan, Denmark.
I ave walked the "vierdaagse" 5 times 4x50km. it is an experience every single time! first time I did it I cycled from the hague to nijmegen, with my campinggear in a "fietskar" so I cycled 160km to nijmegen, walked 200 km and the day after finishing vierdaagse I cycled back the 160 km back home.
every year it is a genuine fiesvakantie, cycling vacation, even during jobinterviews I told them the vierdaagse week is my compulsary week off, contractwise.
Bikkel. 🙏🏼
I registered for the Vierdaagse this year! It will be my first Vierdaagse as a walker and I will try to walk 4 times 50 km's. I am looking forward, but am also a bit afraid...
I finished after 200 km’s of walking!
Going to participate next week. Wish me luck! 😉
Good luck!!
I did walk this 4-day march once, when I was conscripted in the Dutch Army. I was stationed in Germany and we went once in 5 weeks home for a weekend. Military Sports Events were on Friday and the first bus back to the barracks in Germany was on Tuesday. A sports event meant a long weekend at home :) So I participated in two military championships cross country running and in this 4-days march in Nijmegen. Around Nijmegen we had to walk 4 x 40km with personal weapon (I had an Uzi) and 10kg in the backpack.
The 100th edition my village Mill was part on the route for one day of the four
Even though I live in Nijmegen I never walked the vierdaagse, only did the evening vierdaagse...yes the walking one with my son...but even more the celebrating one :-) because from the Saturday before the March till on friday, the last day of the march on we also have the zomerfeesten ( summer cellibrations). One week of bands and parties in the center of town on the street from late morning till late at night/early morning. Every corner you turn there is a new band, new party and all for free on the street. Saw so many of the artist from the best singers live on stages here in the center. At 4 am the first people start their march and we used to go and wish them a good walk. Some walk so terrible you wonder if they will even manage to reach the end of the street. A lot of respect for them but also sometimes calling some a little crazy. I really miss it....hope corona will be under control next year so we can have our celebrations back next year.
I live in Nijmegen and it's a big thing here. A lot of people plan their holiday around the Vierdaagse.A friend of mine participated a few times, started alone but finished with new friends People who don't participate, party every night. The festivities start 2 days before the actual walk starts, and ends on the last day of the walk. So almost a week of partying. Some participants join the party if their feet aren't to sore, but mostly just on Saturday and on Sunday they have to go to sleep early because the first walkers start at 4 a.m.
You have to watch the canal pride Amsterdam 2019....and see the love of my city Amsterdam.
My bro lives there,whe look to them with a cold beer👌👍🇳🇱
My mom finished this 4-day walk a few times.
At that time (talking about early 2000) the Danisch militairy would walk from Denmark to Nijmegen, walk the 4 day walk at Nijmegen and then walked back tot Denmark. I don't know if they still do that though..
When my mom told me that I was shocked!
thanks for reacting! this year its gonna be my 5th time participating :)
I did some night shifts a couple of years ago preparing food for the soldiers from all over the world. I can still remember it like it was yesterday, it was life changing.
Oh shit 2:44 thats the camp where i worked!
my uncle walked the 4 days marches 55 times his wife walked it i taught around 48 times
I’ve done this!! It was heavy. Very heavy! Doesn’t matter I’ve done it!!! 🚶♀️ 🥾
Stoer!
I wonder what you would think about the Netherlands once you've been here. It's awesome to see that you're interested in other countries and cultures. Best wishes from Nijmegen!
My girlfriend lives in a nursing home on the street leading to Heumensoord, the temporary barracks for all participating military personnel. Three days long they arrange seating for the inhabitants of the nursing home to cheer on those military participants. It isn't actually part of the course as the finish is about three miles away, but many decide to walk the last part back to barracks anyway even though free transport back is made available. Some walk in loose groups, others still march in a column. German troops often halt their column in front of the nursing home, do a right face and sing a couple of German marching songs which can be slightly "naughty" if you can understand the language (one particularly song about a beautiful girl living in the woods who's pretty generous with her affection seems to be quite popular). It probably helps that they are allowed to place a refrigerator in the lounge of the nursing home filed with bottles of beer for the troops.
Other columns simply march past, sometimes singing. Many are allowed to return to the camp individually after finishing. Quite a few are struggling to make the camp and have to be helped by their mates, sometimes by fellow soldiers from other countries.
On the last day the soldiers won't be returning to the camp but will enter their transport back home near the finish line.
On that day my girlfriend and I will go to the "Via Gladiola" (in daily life known as the St. Anna street) to watch participants walk the final stretch. On a nearby field (many) military groups will change into their unit's (parade) uniform to finish looking their best often accompanied by a marching band in front of them (some local, some the companies own band).
It always are days we look forward to.
Awesome 🎥
It really is a great event, I walked a couple of times, and the atmosphere is out of this world
Ever heard of Ragbrai? In Ohio once a year thousands of people cycle 450 miles in 4 or 5 days. I saw a video by Kara and Nate about this, reminded me a lot of our vierdaagse. Would love to do Ragbrai one day!
my cousin was once the youngest participant in this event. and he ran him out. also the 100th edition which was longer.
For the military is only one distance 50 km with a backpack with 25 kilos weight that is checked every morning before starting again.
The walk 40km not 50

I did it once while in the army, in the eighties, and it ruined my feet. But I made it! Painkillers and walking between the battalions doctor and reverend helped keep up the spirits. Amazing event. Of course, I missed all festivities, no stamina left each day after finishing.
A great thing not noted here, the whole city has festival-size stages. Where the parrty goes on untill 1 in the night, after that u go into the pub untill 5 in the morning and then u cheer and motivate the Walkers that just woke up and starting to walk, with your fellow drunk friends😆
I have walked 🚶♂️ the 4daagse back in 1997 great event 👍🏻
yoooo ur pronunciation of vierdaagse is great
We always used to say the walkers were pussy's cause we marched from saturday till friday, whole city is booming with live-music! Every little square is packed.
It's where I drank my first "boswandeling" cocktails and so many people danced on my toes that a few days later one of my big toe nails came off. And I was just in the audience..
Yes, when you say four days walk , you say Nijmegen my city. I have always said a real Nijmegen resident must have walked the four days once, I've never walked it, I worked in a cafe on the route, so you're open day and night and now I have been living in England for a few years now. I hope it will continue next year, then it will start on July 16. Then I will go to Nijmegen to party with the Four Days Marches.
The old manager of our grand-store did always, after he got pensioned his grocery shopping on foot, always about 8 km's. Empty bottles to the store, heavy grocery's back to his home. Why? Always training for this event, the "vier daagse". He was all ready a pensioner and in his eigthies, still going strong.
I know there is this one dude who is in his late 80s that has walked it at least 70 times
The days have colours. Pink tuesday, Blue wednesday, White thursday and colourfull friday
If you get the change i would recomend it.
wow, if i ever do that walk i would have to get into that military camp... i got this sneaking suspicion that's the most fun place to be.
I've been there visiting some friends in a vet UNIFIL unit... It definitely used to be 😅
After 9/11 paranoia struck and they closed it down to outside visitors, even on invitation.. they may have loosened it up again since the US isn't participating as much anymore.
The countdown has begun, only a week left! I'm gonna walk this year for the first time (living near Nijmegen). Snollebollekes will be at the parties ;)
2 weeks left & we'll do it all over again this year ;)
2:16 my school in the background!
And then we've got the party during the evenings in the centre.
My city❤️❤️❤️
welcome to the orange army everyone is ready so then when you come here those days you know you are ready, you can't stand it anyway, you have no stamina
❤️💚🖤 Nijmegen 🚶🏼♀️🚶🏻
When the US had a strong military presence in Europe, there was always a large contingent of US military participating, mostly from units stationed in Germany and the Netherlands. They always were very popular.
The vierdaagse parties are big as well. You have to do that. Snollebollekes sang as well doing links rechts😂
How the f did you end up in the Netherlands??! That’s my main question?
Hey there, just passing by on yr channel (been here before for Nightwish 😉)
As a Dutchie its awesome that you watched de Vierdaagse! We’re very proud of that event. It’s so much fun and a crazy good atmosphere I can tell you from my own experience. Great you enjoyed it👍🏻🤘🏼☀️
Watch Unox New Year's Dive 2014
The first day the walking event comes nearby my village :)
Thx 👍👍👍
I signed up with my sister 3 years ago, but whilst training I injured my knee, that was in May, and in June I was still going to physical therapy and not at all able to walk 5 km let alone 4x40 and we had a schedule to follow that we were far behind on So we had to forfeit 😢 I was really sad. And then came covid. Maybe some day but I'm afraid my knees won't let me. I just stick to walks of max 20 km now 🙂
Walked 8 Times, the crushed a foot, so came back 9 times to follow my group on a bike.
Swiss army delegation 1998-2023
Nice T-shirt. Are you going to make a video on La Palma soon?
I live in Beuningen,part of the route, it's always a big party at my aunt's house where the route literally passes her front yard.We have music,good food&drinks and all cheer for the people participating
your pronunciation of the word 'vierdaagse' and other dutch words is pretty good.. I think you are learning dutch in deep secret....
I crashed after the 1st day…50km. There was a hole in my shoe and my foot.
If you walked it once, you,re an addict.
If you are doing this; I'm one of the volunteers for sportmassage and physiotherapy... so if you need (training) advice let me know :)
This year is your chance. Usually it is fully booked ino time but not this year
I walked that 2 times 😊 the 30 km because then I was 11 and 14
I also ran them out both
I was also one of the youngest in 2019
4:17 no way that's literally the group with whom I walked my last 2 four days
Welcome in Nijmegen the oldest city of netherlands 2000 years old (celebration in 2005)Thumbs up you did say correct vierdaagse you make a lot of nice content maybe you should see dubai palm island (made by dutch) maybe efteling all in video
So basically (a 2nd) Mardi Gras in disguise..
