Dutch Polders

The Netherlands are frequently associated with Polders.

Since the ground of the majority of the nation sits under water level, the country in the past suffered from a vast intervention of human hand and engineering work to reclaim land from the sea.

The result of all of that is artificial canals which often we see at the side of the road to maintain a balance in the water level during all seasons.

Riding a bike in the The Netherlands is very common due to the flat landscape and the infrastructure built around it.

On a day you can cover long distances and easily commute from your home to work even if you live at 40km of distance.

Often days are characterized by strong amount of wind making your route planning pretty much associated to weather condition.
