You will also visit the famous Keukenhof gardens, known for the hundreds of thousands of blooming tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other bulb flowers. The world-famous Aalsmeer flower auction is also on the program, where an astonishing volume of beautiful flowers are being traded daily and exported all over the world.

We will then leave Amsterdam cruising on the river Amstel to Spaarndam. From Spaarndam we will cycle our first kilometers to Haarlem. At dinnertime, the program for the next day and the routine for the rest of the week will be explained. After dinner, we will take a walk through the charming and quaint city of Haarlem. Van Gogh Tours Inc. • (781)-646-0096 • [email protected] Sunday: Haarlem – Keukenhof – Leiden – 23 miles (38 km) Today’s trip will lead us through the oldest tulip fields of Holland to the world-famous Keukenhof gardens. This is considered the most beautiful flower bulb park in the world. The Keukenhof is the place where the spring comes to life. We will see an overwhelming blaze of colors: seven million flowering tulips on a magnificent background of 80 acres of traditional and modern gardening architecture. You will be able to admire various hyacinths, daffodils, and other colorful flowers. After our visit to the garden, in the afternoon we will bike to the city of Leiden where our barge awaits. Tonight there will be a walk through the historical city of Leiden, the oldest university town in the country, also the birthplace of Rembrandt. Monday: Leiden - Gouda – 19 or 24 miles (31 or 40 km) In the morning, as we enjoy breakfast, the barge will leave Leiden. Our bike tour will start not far outside of Leiden and lead us through the "green heart" of Holland. Near Zoeterwoude, we will visit a cheese farm where you will learn about the cheese-making process and have the opportunity to taste the results! In the afternoon we reach Gouda, famous for the Gouda cheese. The town has an attractive, compact center with a pretty market square and Gothic town hall. The main church of Gouda, devoted to Saint John, is world famous for its stained glass windows. After dinner there is a walk through town. Tuesday: Gouda - Kudelstaart – 12 or 27 miles (20 or 44 km) In the morning we will stay in Gouda, where you’ll have time to admire the stained glass windows in the St. John's Church or to enjoy one of the sidewalk cafés in Gouda’s famous main square. In the market square you’ll find the beautiful Town Hall, one of the few remaining examples of Gothic architecture in Holland. Every hour you’ll hear the city hall's chimes and can watch the puppet show depicting the moment “city rights” were given to Gouda back in 1272 by Earl Floris V. We will leave by barge around noon and have a light lunch on board. From Alphen aan de Rijn we will have a beautiful bike ride through the green heart of South Holland via the river Drecht and the Amstel channel to Kudelstaart. Wednesday: Kudelstaart - Amsterdam – Zaanse Schans – 18 miles (31 km) Early this morning (6:30 a.m.) we will have a coffee then begin biking to the flower auction of Aalsmeer, the largest of Europe. Here, huge quantities of flowers are trucked in and sold every day, after which they're distributed all over Europe. After our visit we return on board for a late breakfast. The bike tour then continues through the Amsterdamse Bos, west of Amsterdam, to Zaanse Schans, a unique hamlet with original houses and windmills from the river Zaan area and where people live and work. The hamlet is dominated by operating windmills (the oldest built in 1673) which grind mustard, spices, paint, and oil, and also saw wood into planks. As we walk through the village we will see a clock museum, an old- fashioned grocery store, a house with period furniture, a clog maker, and a cheese farm. Thursday: Zaanse Schans – Alkmaar – 18 or 24 miles (29 or 40 km) This morning you cycle to the Hortus Bulborum, a unique garden museum dedicated to the preservation of rare and historic bulbs. More than 4,000 tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and other flowers are planted here. Your cycling tour continues to Egmond at the Northsea. The tour goes through the dunes to Alkmaar. This town is known as a Dutch cheese city. As you wander through the streets you’ll be amazed by the beauty of Alkmaar’s Old Town, with its well-preserved 17th century buildings and narrow, winding canals. Today there's no dinner on board, and you can select one of the local restaurants of Alkmaar. Van Gogh Tours Inc. • (781)-646-0096 • [email protected] Friday: Alkmaar – Amsterdam – 22 or 33 miles (37 or 54 km) After breakfast your cycling tour leads you to the former windmill complex of the Schermer Polder. Here we visit the Schermerhorn Windmill Museum. Your next stop is the beautiful town of De Rijp. Centuries of history are still evident here in De Rijp’s wooden facades, beautiful church, lock and town hall. From here, your ride continues back to Amsterdam. During the afternoon and evening you will have time to visit the city. Amsterdam began as a simple village at the mouth of the River Amstel but expanded rapidly with its famous rings of canals during its Golden Age. The palace on the Dam Square is sometimes called the 8th Wonder of the World because it's built on 13,659 wooden piles. Amsterdam today is a cosmopolitan city with 40 museums, close to one million inhabitants, and a thriving economy. Saturday: Tour Ends Our tour concludes after breakfast, with departure around 9 a.m. Departure Point Amsterdam The barge embarks from the Oosterdok (next to the science center Nemo) near the Central Railway Station in Amsterdam. You're expected on board at 1.30 p.m.. If you want you can bring your luggage in advance, from 10 a.m. onwards. A map, detailed instructions, and the name of your boat will be provided after your final payment is received. Difficulty and Daily Mileage This tour is rated “easy” for its flat terrain and low mileage. All distances are approximate. The above planned itinerary is subject to change due to changing wind, weather conditions, and other unforeseen circumstances (such as mooring requirements). Travel Guidance On the Fleur and Zwaantje barge, there will be two guides accompanying the group when there are more than 18 participants. With less than 18 participants, and also on the barges Allure and Sarah, one guide will be with the group. For days when there are longer and shorter cycling options and only one guide, the guide will use their best judgment as to which route would be best for the group. When there are two guides one will do the longer route and one will do the shorter group. The experienced, multilingual guide will indicate points of interest along the way, accompanies the group when biking, and can assist in case of flat tires or breakdowns. The guide has the tough job of keeping the group moving while also not exhausting the slower riders. If riding in a big group doesn’t sound appealing to you, you could take the route directions and bike on your own. Also keep in mind that this tour covers a lot of great sites! While this means you get to see a lot, it also means that during the daily bike ride you won’t have lots of extra time to shop or stop to take a picture of every lamb or field. Your guide will generally keep you moving so you're back to the barge around 5 p.m., giving you some time before dinner to relax or walk around the town where your barge is moored. Note that in the Netherlands and Belgium, many shops close at 5 or 6 p.m. The Bicycles A well maintained, comfortable 7-speed (Sarah and Allure) 11-speed (Fleur) or 21-speed (Zwaantje) hybrid bicycle is available free of charge for each participant. Men and Van Gogh Tours Inc. • (781)-646-0096 • [email protected] women’s models are available in sizes appropriate to your height.

Inleiding In de voorliggende notitie wordt de voorkeursvariant van de Uithoornlijn beschreven. Het doel van de Uithoornlijn is een duurzame HOV-verbinding tussen Uithoorn en Amsterdam. Aanleiding van de Uithoornlijn De gehele regio heeft te maken met een groei van het aantal OV-reizigers maar met teruglopende middelen vanuit het Rijk voor het openbaar vervoer in onze regio. Kortom: er is meer OV nodig voor minder geld. Dit uitgangspunt is ook te vinden in de Investeringsagenda’s en de Lijnennetvisie. Daarnaast kent de Noord-Zuid corridor van de Stadsregio een aantal ontwikkelingen dat van belang is voor de toekomst van het OV in het zuidelijke deel van de regio: • De Noord/Zuidlijn zorgt voor een geheel nieuw OV-netwerk; • De Amstelveenlijn wordt omgebouwd tot een hoogwaardige tramverbinding; • In de Lijnennetvisie is de nadruk gelegd op OV-knooppunten; • Door toenemende drukte op de wegen in Uithoorn en met name Amstelveen worden langere rijtijden voor de bus verwacht (bij gebrek aan vrijliggende OV-infra); • Er was een studie uitgevoerd naar de COVAU (snelle busverbinding op vrijliggende busbanen).

  • The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster
    The Cheese Markets of the Netherlands by Lee Foster Few experiences satisfy the person who savors food and drink more than a journey to the source, the place where a favorite wine, cheese, or fruit is produced. The encounter imparts a knowledge of terrain and an appreciation of techniques used to make the prized food or drink. No book can teach this experience; no number of trips to the local delicatessen or bottle shop can equal it. For the appreciator of cheese, Dutch cheese is one of the gustatory glories of the Netherlands. The place to start is a good cheese store in Amsterdam. Beyond Amsterdam, you can visit the cheese markets at Alkmaar and at Gouda. You can also visit a cheese-making farm, Clara Maria, near Amsterdam. Details can be easily arranged by the Netherlands Board of Tourism office, www.holland.com. Cheese Shops in Amsterdam Cheese shops in Amsterdam, such as Abraham Kef’s, 192 Marninxstraat, are the places to make your first encounter with Dutch cheeses. At Kef’s you can make a tasting ceremony of cheese and wine. First, try a slice of Gouda, which is 60 percent of all the cheese produced in the Netherlands. Half of this Gouda is exported, making the Dutch one of the world’s largest exporters of cheese. Ask for a piece of Young Gouda, about three months old, which is imported to the U.S. labeled Young or Mild Gouda. Most Goudas are whole milk cheeses with a fat content of 48 percent. The Young Gouda has a creamy, buttery taste.

Hoes Professor N.C. van de Giesen Delft University of Technology Artikelnummer 06917300084 These lecture notes are part of the course entitled ‘Polders’ given in the academic year 2014-2015 by the Water Resources Section of the faculty of Civil Engineering, Delft University of Technology. These lecture notes may contain some mistakes. If you have any comments or suggestions that would improve a reprinted version, please send an email to [email protected]. When writing these notes, reference was made to the lecture notes ‘Polders’ by Prof. ir. J.L. Klein (1966) and ‘Polders and flood control’ by Prof. ir. R. Brouwer (1998), and to the books ‘Polders en Dijken’ by J. van de Kley and H.J. Zuidweg (1969), ‘Water management in Dutch polder areas’ by Prof. dr. ir. B. Schulz (1992), and ‘Man-made Lowlands’ by G.P. van der Ven (2003). Moreover, many figures, photos and tables collected over the years from different reports by various water boards have been included. For several of these it was impossible to track down the original sources. Therefore, the references for these figures are missing and we apologise for this. We hope that with these lecture notes we have succeeded in producing an orderly and accessible overview about the genesis and management of polders. These notes will not be discussed page by page during the lectures, but will form part of the examination.
