things and so close to home! Why travel far, if everything is so close to
home? For long holidays or for short breaks, for a rest and for fun.

to offer, especially when you are looking for diversity. The choice of waterways,
lakes and broads makes Holland a true country of water. A paradise for all

an attraction for the young and old. Exploring the heaths, fields, hills
or forests on foot or by bike are just a few of the many options.
