Winter in the Netherlands... It is not often white, but then when snow falls, I have to go outside. The sound of crunching snow under my shoes, the smell of cold in the air and a beautiful sunrise. The world feels so different when there are parts of snow over it. It almost feels like Christmas...
In winter 2023, I was staying on the Sallandse Heuvelrug and woke up to a thick blanket of snow. It was time to go outside.... This photo was taken on the Ligtenberg, Noetselerberg Estate.
It is one of 23 National Parks in the Netherlands: the Sallandse Heuvelrug. At 5,200 hectares, it is one of the largest parks in the Netherlands. Farmland with cows, fields and fields, water catchment and country estates. Forests, heathland and sand drifts. It is one of the places to go mountain walking in the Netherlands. Think Holterberg, Sprengenberg, Noetselerberg, Hellendoornse Berg and Eelerberg.
