  • Favorite Thing: Europoort is in fact a huge conglomeration of chemical industry. See travelogue Europoort
    But...hang on...attached to Europoort there is the island Voorne-Putten, an amazingly quiet rural region, rich in history and culture and a great place to live.

  • Favorite Thing: 17 June 2004: According to recent research by weekmagazine Elsevier, Brielle is 7th on the list of Dutch towns where the living is good. The list, with 50 top places, scored highest on housing, schools, tourism and recreation, safety, medical care, recreation and the average income of the population.

    General Tips: The martyrs of Gorcum
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]

  • Favorite Thing: The hanging of the 19 martyrs of Gorcum (19 martelaren van Gorcum) in July 1572. These catholic priests were hung in Brielle. And there are still yearly (modest) pilgrimages and commemorations to and in Brielle. They used to be quite big. Not so these days, though last year I saw the procession from my center-of-town home window, passing by. An interesting sight in this otherwise mostly protestant town :-)
