RE: Cycling through the polder

in Cycling3 years ago

Sounds like a decent start after the winter, good job guys! Btw the polders look like a very interesting place with a very important function. I new that the Netherlands is very flat but I didn´t know that a half your country is actually below the sea level! That sounds pretty disturbing!

Thanks for the tipu!

The Dutch have a long history with fighting against the water. The current protection against the sea aexusts of dunes, dikes and ingenious weirs.

The quality of those are frequently checked and maintained.

I feel very safe despite living below sea level.

Cool :) I´m sure your engineers do a great job. The Holland quality is famous all over the world ;)
