- Elburg, with over 600 monuments this is one of the most picturesque towns and well-kept secrets in The Netherlands. The town is located about 80km from Amsterdam, in the North-Western parth of the province of "Gelderland". It's also not far from the popular tourist trap "Giethoorn". Most international tourists would go to the latter. Therefore, I can easily recommend taking a stop in Elburg as it isn't overrun by international tourists yet. Let me show you another off the beaten path destination in one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, Elburg!

Update: thanks to Jurgen van Voorst I was able to correct a mistake in the video. This updated version contains the correct name of Arent Thoe Boeckop.

I remember like yesterday 😊🎉❤❤❤ when we arrived as refugees from Somalia.The year was 1990 until 1996 the happiest years of my 36yr old life 😊 it me and my mother and my 3siblings I attended a school called Van kinsberger school we lived in two places in Elburg Clakenweg 86 and then luttenkenstraat 21 .We then moved to Amsterdam Zuid oost we now live in London for the last 25yrs I will always keep Elburg in my heart I think about it everyday 😢for the rest of my life it is in my opinion the greatest place to raise your children 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤ the loveliest community ever to the people of Elburg I thank you and especially the Haas family and of course Hilde Haas our gateway to Nederland and the western world the Girl the family who showed us the way when I was a child the refugees
That's a heart warming story! Thanks for sharing! I can imagine that you miss Elburg a lot. I'm glad that the lovely people from Elburg were able to help you and your family. I can imagine that life in London is very different... I wish you and your family all the best in the future!
Ik heb genoten van deze video. Elburg is een prachtige oude stad.
Dankjewel, het is inderdaad een relatief onbekend pareltje!
Love this Chanel ! Great work. Hello from New Zealand.
Hello 👋 and thanks! New Zealand is also an amazing country!
Agree. I was amaze too. Cycled last summer from Zwolle to Elburg. ❤❤❤
A beautiful ride indeed!
amazing video, been living in Elburg for my entire life now (19 years of age) and i absolutely love the city, even tho there is not much to do for the young people i still love the fact thats its still one of the few old dutch style city and not one of the many modernised ones. keep up the great work my friend!
Thanks for your reply. True, it's definitely not a party town. But as you say, Elburg is kept really well. It must be a wonderful place to grow up!
@@robindiscovering Yes it really is, everyone knows everyone in the city and (almost) no youth messing up the city so if you want a safe place for you're kids to grow up, Elburg is definetly a place to consider!
Lived there all my youth, and it is a great place for young families and retirees, but otherwise boring as shit..
Amazing! Another great video!
Thanks once again!
Great to learn more about these unknown beautiful cities in my country. May the algorithm be with you.
Thanks!
Try next time harderwijk,hattem or staverden with the white peacocks .And on the other side off the ijssel there is bronkhorst and thats a real gem.
It's on my list, whenever I have time. I started a new job as a geography teacher, but I hope to make some more videos in the upcoming months as well.
I was there every year with my family as a child. Nothing better than to look at these beautiful ships and eating kibbeling😊
So true!
Beautiful old town. My friends love going there. Never been there myself, but this video definitely makes me excited. Thanks for the great video!
Highly recommended!
@@robindiscovering Have you visited Dokkum? Also a hidden gem!
@@markuserikssen not yet, I'll put it on my bucket list!
Very interesting tour , thank you 👍
Thanks!
What a delightful video! I applaud you for the informative, well-executed text. (In het Engels!) I must now visit Elburg. (Ik woon in het schitterende Middleburg maar ik ben in Californië opgegroeid. Ik ben gek op deze oude, sfeervolle plaatsen.)
Thanks! Elburg is highly recommended! Coincidentally I will spent my next holidays in California and surrounding regions! I'm leaving for the states in a couple of days... As a geographer I love nature. I can't wait to see some of the most beautiful national parks like zion, bryce and the grand canyon. I will also drive from LA to SF. Unfortunately no time for filming there as I'm traveling with my family. Anyways, California is also an amazing place to grow up!
@@robindiscovering Heel veel plezier. Ik ben in Palo Alto opgegroeid.
@@marcelmoulin3335 Je Nederlands is erg goed! Palo Alto... ik denk dat ik er langs kom, grappig.
@@robindiscovering Goedemorgen! Hartelijk dank voor jouw compliment. Nederlands is eigenlijk mijn derde taal. (Ik ben niet met de Nederlandse taal opgegroeid hoewel ik Nederlander ben.) Wanneer je in de Bay Area bent, is het de moeite waard om Petaluma, Windsor of Alameda te bezoeken. Daar vindt men prachtige huizen en een mooi centrum. Goede reis!
@@marcelmoulin3335 palo alto ligt mooi op de route, dus wie weet!
Thank you for creating such amazing footage and documentation about Elburg! I live in the vesting (town) for 13 years now, you even showed my home (a little bit).
Also my father in law is an archeologist on the Veluwe and also speaks at arent thoe boecop from time to time.
Thank you again!
(volgens mij kan ik gewoon Nederlands praten, maar voor de zekerheid haha).
Thanks! It's a beautiful town to live! Bijzonder dat je pa nog in contact staat met de familie Thoe Boeckop! Dankjewel voor je feedback!
W❤️W! Absolutely Stunning And Incredible Adventure! Cheers!🥂❤️✨
Thanks!
Nice !
The Netherlands is a beutiful country, love it!
Thanks! What's your favorite place in The Netherlands so far?
@@robindiscovering it's hard to pick only one place, the entire country is very special, but I think Haarlem, Amsterdam, Giethoorn, Maastricht, the ortified city of Naarden and many others. As my wife says, The Netherlands is the real Disneyland.
@@marcosmenescal2962 Naarden is an interesting pick, maybe I should visit it later this year!
Just discovered your channel! great videos, I love this off the beaten towns, how do you suggest getting around, rent a car or most are connected by train?
Thanks for your reply. Public transport in The Netherlands is very good. Every town will have at least a bus connection. Larger towns and cities have train connections as well. I suggest you download the "9292ov" app to see if public transport is an option on your desired route. For a day trip from Amsterdam to Giethoorn with a stop in Elburg I would rent a car. It would be a bit faster to reach the smaller towns and villages.
interesting :)
do you use a drone? I thought it's prohibited in the NL. No?
Yes I do, it's not entirely forbidden, but there are many zones where you can't fly. We have an app for this which is called "GoDrone". Furthermore you have to register your drone, put the registered number on your drone and you have to pay annually tax over it, like you would with a car. Where you can fly also depends on the size of the Drone. Flying with drones less then 249 grams, which I use, are generally allowed in more regions.
@@robindiscovering also I’ve heard that it’s forbidden to register drones for the Russians :)
If i find info i will show the link
I call it Ellendeburg cause i didn't like going to school there lol
