- In this video of my motovlog series of The Netherlands, I am exploring Zuid-Limburg. First we go to the highest point in the country: at 322 meters above sea-level, which is situated right at the border with Germany and Belgium.
After that, I explore the ENCI quarry and the underground tunnels of Maastricht. What a fascinating area and who knew that the world famous Rembrandt painting the 'Night Watch' was stored in a deep, underground vault during World War II!

I love this whole series. I know it was unplanned, but your video tours are both beautiful and educational, which is great!
Noraly, again you showed us an interesting part of the Netherlands with a high quality video. Thanks for that and also for your wonderful geology lesson.
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING! Great drone videos. That lone tower shooting up in the middle of the forest at 3:20 reminded me of a scene in one of the Star Wars movies. Thanks for the Geology and History lessons. The underground tour and it being used to save people was a joy, however, not too thrilled with what the Nazis did with it and people's possessions. 🙏🏼 Thanks to the ingenuity of the Dutch guards these items were preserved.
Thanks for your time and sharing this information. Looking forward to your next one. Take care and ride safe. 🖖🏽🤟🏽🇨🇦
Absolutely fascinating. We saw “The Night Watch” at the Rijksmuseum right after it reopened in 2013 but had no idea of this backstory. Thank you.
Freaking incredible vault. And The Night Watch lying there for 3 years! Incredible story. Thanks so much, Noraly.
Even as a Dutchman myself, learned a thing or two :-) Never heard about the fourth country at the "drielandenpunt" also the caves were very interesting.
Ok it’s 2am here in Australia and I have got to comment before the thousands others. Great videos seen them all even convinced my wife to watch. Keep them coming 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
that goes for me to mate
Onya maaaate
After Noraly talked about the distance from nearly one end of The Netherlands to the other, it made me smile. It just brought home how huge this country is and how far the distances are we travel from day to day down here in Australia. Friends of mine travel 300km round trip each day for work, and that's nothing exceptional.
Hoi, Noraly,you just cost me 25,000 euros for 2 bikes my Wife and I used to ride in Noord Brabant in the 90s and 00s ,we moved to Ireland and took up Scuba diving ,now after watching your videos ,we are buying 2 Yamaha t700 to see the World ,love it thanks tom and Maddy
We also want to know about the culture and food habits of different provinces in your country
Jaaa :-) Patatje kapsalon!
and in this southern part "vlaai"
@daibon Ten The herring gets saltier further away from the sea. That's not necessary anymore, but it's how people still like it.
Hello everyone, here's Noraly travelling from Chile to Argentina to Chile to
Hang on, it's even better... Netherlands to a wrong turn and dip into Germany, then back to the Netherlands with as much hassle as we get riding from Staffordshire into Shropshire into Wales and back into Shropshire and Staffordshire. You make it look so easy.
I loved the ride with you, sat amazed as we entered and toured the tunnels with you, learned a lot about the geological landscape and marvelled at the easing of lockdown during this strange and, for some, dangerous time.
How lucky we are and how grateful I am to be able to still be here to enjoy it.
As ever, Noraly, thank you for your video, ride safe, stay safe and big hugs and thumbs up from Staffordshire, UK.
😷👍👍😷
Geoff
Geoff, you seem to have forgotten an Englishman cant enter Wales due to the lockdown. Head North...
Noraly, thank you for a wonderful video and trip across your homeland. I think it would be fantastic if every comment ended with a flag of the person writing the message. I’m sure you have so many friends all around the world. Cheers!!! 🇨🇦
Thanks for the awesome history lesson! My grandmother was born in Maastricht. She is a descendant of the Bisdom von Vliet family. There is a museum in Maastricht that is about the history of her family. Thanks for your amazing videos and keep doing what you do!!$
This was fascinating, Noraly, thank you so much.
Just showing how beautiful Europe is as well. The free borders is a great thing, especially after seeing this Armenia, Azerbaijan area where you can't go if you have been somewhere else before. The people you interact with are friendly as well, of course different to seeing a visitor/stranger once a year :)
Whao ! Amazing stories ! Never imagined as I contemplated The Night Watch hanging in the Reijks Museum that it spent three years rolled up in a lime pit, fascinating !
Its a pleasure viewing Holland in all its splendor and beauty, so much culture, civility. Thank you again
Noraly, your "underground" explorations are fantastic! I'm catching up...watched your silver mine visit last week. Keep up the fine work. You are taking travel dispatches to a new level.
Very cool. I love how the Feller in the tunnel Came Back 40 years later and signed the wall again absolutely awesome.
As an old Earth Science student myself, I always enjoy your geology lessons. Thank you Noraly for the continued tour of your beautiful country.
A friendly „Good Morning Internet", an enthusastic „Let's Go" and Itchy Boots goes 3 countries and underground - a very nice, impressive, interesting and educational excursion! By the way, i never thought a quarry could be so beautiful!👍
But no breakfast :(
Here's another beautiful quarry for you. Poland, Krakow - it's almost in the center of the city - 2.3 km from Wawel Royal Castle. th-cam.com/video/mS9ssm_1-K4/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/gkHS54kM668/w-d-xo.html
You actually passed Andre Rieu’s house, it’s a little further down the road at 7:12
Fantastic tour of your beautiful Country. The guides English was very good in the tunnels & vault. Great history, amazing sites. Thanks For Sharing 🙏🏻
بہت ہی دلچسپ کہانی ہے۔
Very interesting &amazing exploration
Always fun, interesting and educational. Thank you so much for sharing.
It is so freeing to see borders such as this
It doesn't even feel like it's a border
No fences No soldiers
Hope the rest of the world comes to this one day🕊✌🏻
Where are you living Moto Trooper?
@@humanbeing1675 India
I assume with your attitude toward borders you don't even have locks on the doors to your house.
@@allanmccullough8550 😂👍🏻
I agree, the freedom to go wherever we want is in my opinion the best thing the EU has done for it's citizens. I remember when I was a kid there where still passport checks at the border to the netherlands.
Later the border guards were still there but mostly didn't bother stopping anyone anymore, until one day there where complete gone.
But it is a constant struggle, there are always people wanting to rebuild fences, corona doesn't help either..
Nora is always a history class! Very cool to know more about Holland. Interesting how quarantine has made us think of new possibilities. Thank you!!!!!!
Even for a Dutch guy I have learned new stuff about my own country. Thanks for this, keep on make these beautiful video’s. They are good and professional and informative. Hope that soon you can return to Peru and continue your trip to Alaska with Danouh.
3 countries in 3 steps, that must be the fastest border crossings you've had on all your travels.
As someone from the EU, this concept is nothing new. 99% of border crossings are like this.
Another great history and geology lesson. Noraly. Where were you in my youth during history classes. 😂😂👍Only joking. You probably weren’t born. I’m 61. The Netherlands is a interesting place to see thanks to you. Keep doing what you do Noraly.👍
Best thing to do in quarantine watch your videos, perfect!
Amazed to hear that the Germans cooperated with the Dutch guards to preserve those priceless paintings. I always heard that they used to steal the artworks.
Yes it's super cool to watch and learn all this. Look and Learn. Thank you for taking us around.
Like everyone else here I'm so grateful you are still making these videos for us to enjoy. It doesn't matter what sort of a day I'm having, as soon as I click on the upload and hear "Good Morning Internet" a smile breaks out on my face. Thank you so much!
Toch een beetje trots om Limburger te zijn. Mooi landschap, goeie geschiedenis en lekkere motor routes 😊
Hopelijk heb je genoten van het tripje naar het zuiden. Zie je maar weer hoe divers Nederland kan zijn voor zo'n klein landje.
As a veteran of the U.S. Navy for 22 years, I have travelled all over the world. I never visited the Netherlands, did get as close as Belgium though. I love all of your videos, many of the places you visit I have visited as well just never your home country. Thank you so much for the videos, please keep them coming.
Wow, what a great vlog! It was really nice to meet you and show you around. Take care and drive safe!
I'm in Germany...I missed the last cutoff. three countries in three steps - fastest border crossing you have ever done. Yes, a fascinating tour and history lesson.
overwhelming vlog. really got an opportunity to know something interesting about The Netherlands :). stay blessed
"i am in germany!" :) you can tell from the graffiti
Second thumb up 😉 .... I wish I could give👍👍
Very interesting .... AGAIN !
I don't know when you recorded this, but it must have been early this week. Now we are back to more typical Dutch wheather. Cheers, Nard
Haha yes I recorded it on Monday.. 2e pinksterdag!
Hi any chance of another run of your neck tubes!
The tunnels are such a cool part of the Netherlands. Went on a tour of them myself about 7 years ago and felt the same. I didn't expect much, but it was a great experience. And both Maastricht and Vaals are cool places as well. .Thank you for sharing them the rest of the world!
Wow! I got a little bit emotional about the 'Nag Wag" by van Rijn, seeing where it was kept. When I was a child I traveled with my parents to Holland and they could not get me away from the 'Nag wag'. I cried when they wanted to move on. Hi from South Africa, I'm watching all your videos back now. I've already watched the Southern Africa tour and Guatemala to USA, which I am also watching as new episodes come out. :)
3 countries in 3 seconds. You're a fast traveller.
In some parts of the world in 2020, that will just mean 42 days quarantine :P
If you rune really quickly you can 150 bordercrossings in a minute xD
I guess Noraly has got border crossings down to a fine art with all the practice.
@@stevecade857 Yeah, that is something for sure ;)
Ginger Ginger I totally agree with you
How cool! Thanks for taking us inside the vault - so much history in one place! Love when you give us some facts and history about the places you visit =)
I love that you been taking us on a tour of your country. Thank you. Will from TEXAS USA
Beautiful ride. Never knew anything about Netherlands. You are amazing girl!
Thanks for share these videos!!! Here in Argentina we are in some kind of "quarantine" and can´t go out with our motorcycles. I travel with you in every video!!!
He dare everything wil com to normal and can go on , stay safe. Greetinghs from a belgian guy
@@Loodgieter4 Yes, we need just wait. In Buenos Aires we will exceed 100 days with restrictions.
Stay safe, the virus is still there, it's only social distancing and not moving around that has slowed the spread.
What a fascinating story OMG i bit not many people know any thing about those underground history! Anyway thanks for lovely educational video ❤️from 🇮🇷
Beautifully! Interesting! Thank you for the video!
Geology! Yay! In your travels, the landforms you show really rock me. ;)
Many thanks for going to the highest part of the Netherlands for me (for reference: see my comment on your first video).
This is a really interesting video.
Hi "Stig"! This video makes me want to visit the Netherlands in early summer. Always thought it crowded with 17,x million Dutch people in such a small area. But I gather there is room for one more tourist. But is there room for a Autocamper on those roads looking like bicycle lanes?
And I am super happy you took us all along for the adventure. Amazing.
I think they should build a WALL at Dreiländerpunkt just for the tourist picture value!
I've been enjoying these videos of the Netherlands, a beautiful country to see and hear about, so thanks for sharing this with us.
been there i hitchhiked from uk in 1965 i was 16.very nice people .and now in my 70+.happy memories.but now i feel bad going for a ride on my chines 250.it will get better.be safe.
That was fascinating! I'm enjoying these video's of your homeland very much. Thanks for sharing. Ride Safe.
The moresnet story is very interesting. On belgium TV there was a series '''Publiek Geheim'' (public secrets) they had a awesome docu about the mini state
Cool tour of the vault. Never thought there were underground tunnels in Holland. More like dams and levies. Thanks!
What part of the Netherlands used to be part of Spain? (Kingdom of Spain)
Noraly, you amaze us more every week! Who would’ve thought we’d get to visit three countries without having to show a passport? The underground tunnel tour was absolutely fascinating. Of course, there’s the bonus of riding along with you seeing the city and countryside. Big thumbs up! Stay safe and healthy and, of course, see you in the next video!
All the countries of the EU, soon to exclude the UK, have open borders - you don't need to show a passport if travelling on land.
Air travel is different, because they need to verify who you are before flying.
I'm sorry tessellater but I have to correct you, the passport free travel area has never been across the whole EU only the countries signed up to the Schengen accord. Also the UK has already left on 31/12/19, it is currently in a transition phase, but since it was one of the countries not in the Schengen zone you have always needed travel documents to go there.
Nicely said , everyday is learning experience with Noraly .
1815, The Battle of Waterloo, The Last Battle between France and Great Britain before The Battle of Navarino 12 years later. Of course, The Napoleon Wars after Napoleon took over France in 1799. Of course, France supplied French Ships and Munitions to Separatists during The American Revolution, and Nathaniel Rothschild connived his way into winning the bid on the loan for The Reparations of France during The Battle of Waterloo in Belgium in 1815. Of course, Nathaniel Rothschild's brother, James Rothschild, supported Napoleon while Nathaniel Rothschild in Germany backed The British. Of course, King Frederick II married Princess Mary, the daughter of King George II who supplied over 30,000 Troops that occupied The Delaware in Trenton, NJ when George Washington crossed The Delaware. They also occupied Newport, Rhode Island as well. King Frederick II, brother of Prince William Landgrave IX, sons of King Frederick The Great. Mayer Amschel Rothschild was an agent of Prince William Landgrave IX, Nathaniel Rothschild's father. Of course, I can provide sources on that info hardly ever mentioned. Of course, The Rothschilds worked their way into The United States through August Belmont in the early 1800s, and Forbes Magazine reported that Trump's Right Hand Man, Wilbur Ross, was a chairman for The Rothschild Banking Barons for 23 years & The New York Times reported that Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild funded Hillary Clinton's and the late Sen. John McCain's Campaigns. Of course, there is a lot that happened after The Rothschilds worked their way into The United States through August Belmont. Oh...secret things that shouldn't be secret. Of course, it is sad that so many secrets are kept from us all especially when The United States wasn't based on secrets. Of course, there were no walls under The Liberty Tree in Boston, MA and no secrets. President Jimmy Carter wrote about Baron Lionel Walter Rothschild who signed The Balfour Declaration of November, 1917 that led to the re-establishment of Israel in 1948 after The British fought the Ottoman Empire for control over Palestine before Israel was re-established in Palestine on May 14th, 1948. Of course, The Balfour Delaration is also mentioned on Winston Churchill's Website along with Chaim Weismann, a Russian Scientist, and The Rothschilds. Of course, I know history a little bit more than others since my direct ancestor is one of the reasons for our U.S. First Amendment (Establishment Clause). Thank you Noraly for your tour. I just though you should know a few important facts when it comes to 1815. I could mention more, but it might become censored.
Hi Norally, ... following your adventures since the start ... and now... now you actually came about 500 meters from where I live (9:18 near the cave house), would have been something if we would have met and chatted a bit and Lima could have had a chat with ‘Doerak’ (my gravel grey ) Himalayan (yep indeed) ... would have been fun. The dwelling (entrance of the cave ) is actually a real cool livinghouse of the former ‘cavesupervisor’, grotopzichter .... he lives there indeed... it is the so called Geulhemergroeve and that one hides a very, very unique geological spot, quire far away in the hill you will find the only place where you can really observe (and touch, but we don’t do that) the K/T frontier... the exact sepparation between Krijt (Cretecious) and Tertiair, hence K/T It is to found right under a collapsed ceiling and marks the exact geological spot where the dinosaurs became extinct. It’s just a few centimeters thick of gray clayish stuff,: Below it cretacious and dinosaurs, above it.. nothing anymore.. It is not open for public but there is a nice way of getting there (requesting it politely), unique in the world because of the fact that it is underground and not contaminated... if you ever come back to south of Limburg, lets have a chat.. And let Lima tell stories to Doerak.. keep up the great work. Thank you.
Bedankt voor je bericht! Zo grappig want ik ben op het geologisch veldwerk daar toen geweest om de KT grens te bekijken! Het is inmiddels als weer zoveel jaar geleden dat ik niet meer precies wist waar het was. Ik was er nu dus weer heel dicht bij 😅
Ik heb jaren gegidst en was lid van het Natuurhistorisch genootschap en studiegroep onderaardse kalksteengroeven, en heb een boek over Gemeentegrot geschreven.. ik stuur je graag een exemplaar.. ... inderdaad geologisch en mijnbouwhistorisch buitengewoon mooi gebied.. grappig dat je met Lima zo dicht in de buurt was... bedankt, wellicht tot ziens.👍 Wellicht een keer bij een live meet and greet
That tour was amazing. Thank you for taking us along . From Canada.
Thank you for the tour, was very interesting. When I was a university student i read a little book about the night watch just before an exam, to relax. That’s why that painting is very deep in my memories
Those storages of painting it so amazing...
How cute is that? Ducht calling a 300 meters hill a mountain. Nice vid Noraly.
Thx for all your hard work :-) - stay safe :-)
Have you considered of buying interceptor 650?
I love all the history in all the episodes but this one was by far my favorite! I absolutely love history!
Any chance of showing us a Dutch Breakfast ? With the eggs cooked ontop of the bacon please. Mmmmm, used to find a place that does that in Amsterdam. Had to look to.
zo leer als nederlander ook weer wat nieuws, wist helemaal niet van de kluis
Terrific show! So nice to be able to tour in places I have never been and knew little about. Thank you for producing this. Another fine work! Peace and joy in your travels.
Don't forget to eat some 'vlaai' in the number 1 vlaai-city in the province and therefore country and therefore world; Weert! 😀
BTW as a child I went inside the mountain with my schoolclass and we were told that several people in history got lost inside the mountain. When their flashlight or lantern failed it was impossible for them to find their way out again! Their dead bodies were found later but missing the fingertips; these peoples' fingers were worn-out by searching the walls over and over again, trying to make it to the exit.
Now sleep well tonite and give thanks for electricity! …
Norally what beautiful places there are in your country!!!! Every time I saw one of your videos after I take my motorcycle and make a short ride to take a breathe like you!!!! Just amazing you and your videos!!!! Greetings from Greece!!!!😊😊👍👍
WHAT A STORY, Thank you so much for this video....
You are right I didn't Like It I loved It . Thanks much and be safe. Cheer
We are exploring Germany, Nederlands and Belgium. 3 in tree seconds. I hope the whole world will be like that in some years.

Hé Noraly, na 2 seizoenen bij jou achterop, zit je nu bij mij achterop. Nou ja, een beetje dan, je sticker achterop de topkoffer van de Stelvio ;-) Sorry, fellow foreign followers, I think this won't work in an English translation. However Noraly, I watched your videos more than once, informative and inspiring. Get on with it.
We are missing your south american tour, but thanks for the videos you are currently making & keeping in touch with us.
I’m not missing anything, because the current videos are great. Keep going. Buck
Seems like yesterday Noraly was 20m from anywhere a few miles high with ice sculptures on the roadside.
Love your videos!
Swansea, Wales.
Oh Wow really interesting .. Thanks for the Tour 👍
3:43 That is one chatty birdie in the background.... LOL!
So excited to see and hear someone talking about geology. I also studied that so particularly love those sights and commentaries.
Thank you for the tour of your home country. I’m happy you were able to “scratch the itch” and show us your familiar surroundings. Perhaps you saw them in a new way, too. We often take for granted the familiar.
The highest point in the Netherlands? That can be interpreted in a different way.
Amsterdam coffee shops - all very high?
Dover cliffs are technically chaulk vis a vis limestone, re they not?
Thank-you, Noraly!
In the drone footage in the beginning, what was that large tower?
That is a "view tower", or in Dutch "uitzicht toren" at the "drie-landen-punt" (litt: "three-countries-point"), see www.tripadvisor.nl/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g1087458-d2258429-i54780148-Drielandenpunt-Vaals_Limburg_Province.html
Actually an uncle of me transported the “Nachtwacht” with his cargo vessel, by river, to Maastricht. Ik ben Nederlandse.
Dammmn your two eyes really make me feel better everyday
WOW AMAZING tremenda red de tuneles!! me encantó conocer acerca del museo subterráneo y las casas subterráneas!! me trajo a la memoria algunas similares que he visto en el Peloponeso Grecia
Super genial video!!
Y aqui en Códoba Argentina donde vivo desde este fin de semana ya podemos salir em moto!!! y a partir del proximo fin de semana se abriran restaurantes!! IUPIIII!!!
@Itchy So very nice to see you in my city. The South of Limburg is a fantastic area for making beautiful motorcycle-trips on small roads. Too bad that one of the best motorcycle-trips, the Mergelland-route, probably will be closed for motorcycles because of "noise-pollution". Very proud you made this video. Do you know how in Maastricht the "Helpoort" got its name? In medieval times at sunset all the gates to enter the city were closed. If you wanted to enter the city as a merchant with horse and carriage you were allowed to do this at this very small gate. Trying to fit through this entrance was like hel. Hence the name.
Roma Maastricht that’s so interesting about the helpoort! :) thanks for sharing!

I'm so fascinated by your videos about the Netherlands, that my family will travel from Germany to Gouda next week to stay there for some days and explore as much as we can in our week of vacation. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, eat lot's of cheese, meet interesting people... I also have the Drielandenpunt on our list. Can't wait to sit in our car and enter the Autobahn, we'll wave to every motorbike coming along... :-)
is there no passport control between Germany and Netherlands?

A very interesting lesson about a small group of people trying to preserve the best of humanity in the face of the worst in humanity: Art vs. war. Thank you Noraly for the history lesson. As you know, events in WW2 resulted in we Canadians sharing a special bond with the Dutch people. Love and Respect from 🇨🇦.
