Concept and planning board
— An overview of what the hell I hope to get up to.
- Destinations and Travel Topics
Mölndal – Industrial town south of Gothenburg, with many (former) watermills along a waterfall.
Rail travel in Belgium – What it says on the tin (probably including Luxembourg as well?). Belgian trains for as far as my experience with them go, are decent and a good way to get where you're going ...though anything beats the ring of Antwerp.
Guide-ifying Dutch cities - Most prominently Rotterdam, The Hague, Alkmaar, Maastricht, Delft, Nijmegen, Leeuwarden.- National parks - Adding more information and articles for large National Parks and other landscape-based regions the likes of the Meinweg NP, Maasduinen NP, Gelderse Poort NP
- Small cities - The likes of small cities Thorn, Ravenstein, Heusden, Woudrichem &c.
- Overlooked east - Eastern destinations that've been overlooked such as Hardenberg, Oldenzaal, Steenwijk &c.
- Off the beaten path - Small destinations that seem promising for tourism: Schin op Geul, Itteren, Elspeet, Hellendoorn, Havelte, Borger.
- Subdividing regions - Overijssel into Kop van Overijssel, Salland and Twente; Drenthe into Westerveld en Wolden, Drents Platteau and Hondsrug; Limburg into Noord, Midden, Oostelijke- and Westelijke Mijnstreek.
Reinstating regions – In specific the Rijnmond and Haaglanden regions, which have been merged into the Metropoolregio, which is far too unwieldy.
- History and curiosities
Atlantikwall – Defensive system of over 5,000 kilometres (3,100 mi) spanning the coasts of Northern Norway all the way to the south of France, built to defend the Third Reich.- Batavian Repubic and the Kingdom of Holland – Republic and subsequent monarchy set up by the Bonapartes consisting of the modern-day Netherlands, plus and minus some bits.
Dutch Revolt – Spurred on by high taxation, loss of privileges and many more woes, the Dutch Revolt had an irreversible effect on all of Europe, and resulted in the creation of the first successful major post-Mediaeval republic.
Grands Traveaux Inutiles – The Great Useless Works of the BeNeLux. Especially Belgian politics of the second half of the 20th century led to some questionable investments in public infrastructure. This is a list of them.- Mills of the Netherlands – Many of them, as well as the profession of miller, are UNESCO-listed, so this classifies on those grounds. Besides, my master thesis is on Dutch watermills, so if anyone's going to write it, it'd be me.
