I was born and raised in the Netherlands so I know where to go here.
First to Kaatsheuvel to visit the Efteling
The fairy tale forest was a childhood favorite
I flew over to Germany to visit the movie park there. The Ruhr industrial area is quite striking
Movie park Germany with The Neverending Story ride, one of my favorite books
Apeldoorn, the town I grew up in, showing Paleis het Loo down there
There is not a lot of wildlife left in the Netherlands so got to make sure they can safely cross the road
Wild crossing at Hoge Veluwe national park.
I was born in Amsterdam and went back there to University
Unfortunately the more you know a place, the less good it looks in FS 2020
I lived on the 12th floor of the student apartment building right below my plane on the water
It’s right below the approach to Schiphol airport. The whole building would shake when a heavy out bound cargo plane came over.
Back to the West coast past Reeuwijk
Berkenwoude, the effort to keep the land dry. Large parts of the Netherlands are below sea level
Wassenaar, some nature left next to the beach
Tulip fields supplying the Keukenhof (down right)
The beach at Nordwijkerhout, you can beach walk all along the coast
Circuit Zandvoort
More tulip fields in Noord-Holland
The Afsluitdijk which made the Flevopolder possible, claiming land from the sea
Terschelling, one of the wadden isles, a favorite destination for a short holiday
You can walk to the mainland at low tide, called Wadlopen (mudflat hiking)
Since it got dark I touched down in Drachten, Friesland.
Update: World update 4 is out so I took a couple screenshots of Amsterdam now it has PG data.
Amsterdam Central Station seen from Het IJ
Dam square
Rembrandtplein with The Stopera across De Amstel (river)
Muntplein at the end of the Kalverstraat
Leidsheplein with various great cinemas and theaters
Het Concertgebouw on Museumplein (Rijksmuseum in the other direction)
And one more view, De Koepelkerk on Singel
Lovely to see Amsterdam again in detail.
