First ice skating routes on RouteYou

The big coldwave through Europe was obviously the trigger for some of you out there to put on your skates, but also to create a few iceskating routes and to send us some pictures.

It was a trigger for us to create a new characteristic: Routes suitable for ice-skating... Have a look at the starting collection of ice skate routes...

Pytheas's Choice

Globespot of the month

Set-up

Every month, we ask somebody to be a modern Pytheas and tell us something about the most amazing place they have ever experienced, and explain why this is!

Globespots of the month: The selection of most exquisite landscapes of the Netherlands

The Pytheas's Choise is this time a selection of locations. But, as you can expect from a Pytheas selection, these locations are not just locations. They are a collection of most attractive, interesting, unusual and most precious landscapes of the Netherlands.

A group of experts in the Netherlands picked these spots.

We put them togeteher in this virtual track of the Netherlands.

De Noordelijke Veen kolonien

The 'Northerly Peat Colonies' or 'Noordelijke veenkolonïen. One of the 50 locations selected by experts as top landscapes of the Netherlands.
