Nieuwkoopse Plassen


A year ago I returned I returned to my native country after some moving adventures in Tennessee where I would have liked to continue my landscaping business but some unforseen events prevented this.

I came back to the village I lived before and still had my house till 2005.








Nieuwkoop is a lovely little village on the border of a small lake in the green heart of Holland. Only 30 minutes away from Amsterdam. It's a peacefull haven away from the big cities. In summertime the lake offers a lot of watersport activities.

I found a temporary house to live in. It's very old and needs lots of caring, but is the ideal spot. With a view on the tiniest church (not more than 30 people fit in) and at 25 meters from the lake. De Nieuwkoopse plassen (plassen meaning puddle in English).. It's a huge puddle though...

In summertime it's great to sail and all kinds of watersports.

De Nieuwkoopse Plassen is a proteteced nature area in the middle of Holland. Holland are 2 provinces and is part of the Netherlands.
