Here's a start : recent someone asked for places in Holland

Netherlands

Off on our first visit to The Netherlands over the Easter break. Doing a bit of research - anybody got places of interest worth visiting, recommended areas, campsites, walks, bike rides, etc. All info gratefully received. Really looking forward to it. Love our Easter tours!

We have just returned from 5 days in Holland. Rotterdam is great fun. Highlights were the Markthal - a huge covered street food market and the cube houses. From Rotterdam you can take a ferry (with your bikes if you have them) and visit Kinderdijk. These are a group of historic windmills set in the most sublime scenery. It is busy but if you just walk a bit further on you lose the crowds.
We stayed at a campsite a a 15km cycle ride out of Rotterdam on the river where we watched a constant stream of huge riverboats pass by day and night. Fascinating. The campsite was called Recreationpark Oude Maas. Highly recommended.

Try Camping Waldwinkel. Great little site on the edge if a forest, by a lake and not too far off the autobahn. If location works it’s a good one night stop over.

Hi,

you want to visit your relatives in Danmark? Why not have before a visit with your ancient relatives (vikings and anglo-saxons) in Haithabu? On your way, I think ,you take the autobahn (A7) from Hamburg to Flensburg. Nearby ( 15 Km ) lies the campsite (www.campingplatz-haithabu.de) with a nice view over the fjord “Schlei” to the town Schleswig. Now 15 minutes walk to the new UNESCO World Heritage with the interesting Wiking Museum Haithabu (https://haithabu.de/de/startseite) and the “Archaeological Border complex of Hedeby and the Danevirke” (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1553). Full of new impressions there is also worth visiting ( 15 minutes by bike) the museum island of Gottorf Castle (https://schloss-gottorf.de/en/homepage). At least you have walk ( 15 minutes) to the nice town of Schleswig with the impressive cathedral.
