  • As we continue our road trip through Europe, in our trusted campervan Elton, it’s finally time for Belgium! Our trip in the Netherlands was filled with good food, good vibes, and great weather! Now it’s time to head towards the border of the Netherlands and Belgium which has a fun little town, which is sort of 50% of each country (Baarle Hertog and Baarle Nassau)…. We lost count of how many times we crossed the border in just a matter of minutes. Followed by a city called Leuven that surprised us with it’s beauty, we can’t wait to keep continue our trip through Belgium!

      Fries were invented and are still being honoured in belgium. Ever since potatoes were brought to Europe Belgium was the supreme potato leader and it is still the only country in the world able to produce real fries. (Because the fat used to fry is trademarked and Bintje potatoes are too)

      Go to a country for a weird historical border?(it was a stupid reason that time and still, we have many more, and- of them stupid things google it) for a small country there is so much more, new art, old masters( famous for it) history, city histories, festivals, nature, food, beer, even wine in east Be., chocolat, nice stores old stores, best fries in the world (just try mayon. it's not the US stuff) B&B's (most money go's to lux. hotels, just for sleeping ?) JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH VERY VERY WELL !! Train, trams ,busses (not the US stuff) You can rent vehicles,( and lose time parking it) if so please learn how we drive over here (on line)D. Bowie " this is not America, no" Way more cheeper public transportation. On this video you see they have no clue,!! random!! who represent those figures on city hall? they don't now and why, they want to eat fries on the steps( prohibitid, on some cultural places) Touring might be the best for "enjoing" the land, but for a forreigner,( sorry) y'all mis so much, the "time" problem. But you can see and do allot when your well prepaired. Hope to meet y'all over here, ( by the way lve bleu grass mus) best regards Be.

    It brings back to my memory of my trip to Belgium years ago. I took a day visit to the beautiful and historical town of Leuven. Love this town! Leuven might not be as famous as big cities like Brussels or Antwerp and yet it has its own characteristic which cannot be found elsewhere in Belgium. It embodies one of the European oldest and world's top universities, KU Leuven, and I am not sure if you know, Leuven is the birthplace of the well-known brewery Stella Artois. These two have already made Leuven citizens proud.

The woman heard that my mom was Dutch too and said to her, I am married to a Belgian, he’s now 69 years old and I am still waiting for him to grow up.

    It warms my heart to be able as a Kempish Belgian to see tourists having a good time in all peace and quiet. Like a chef seeing his customers enjoy. I hope big city mentality doesn't spread too fast cause we do have small talk to strangers. The moment you stop seeing cows, people are more in to their selves. When I see what Brussels or New York is becoming, it makes me feel powerless.

    Baarle-Hertog's and Baarle-Nassaus's border complexities result from a number of treaties and agreements, land-swaps and land sales between the Lords of Breda and the Dukes of Brabant in medieval times.The fact those treaties are respected to this very day is quite insane, but actually is what makes those two places so quaint and charming 😊 Leuven is also very nice. You should have visited Antwerp too!

    When in Baarle Hertog/Nassau and you don't know which country you're actually in, just look at the little plates showing the house number. It sports either a Dutch or a Belgian flag. I live at about a 20 minutes' drive from this wonderful place..... Greetings from Belgium!

  • @JaapFilius

    Back in te 70th I have worked in Baarle Nassau/Hertog. Back than they didn't have those fancy markings on the streets: The frontdoor is telling you in which country the house/shop is. The house number has either a small Dutch flag or a Belgium flag on it. We had two purses: one with Belgium francs and one with Dutch guilders (it was far before the Euro was introduced), so every costumer was able to use the national currency.

    Fun fact for next time: Leuven does not have a low-emission zone. The map you were looking at with the colored zones is the city's circulation plan. To keep through traffic from driving through the city center, there is a hard border for cars between the colored zones (with bollards and dead-end streets). You can enter the city by car in one colored zone, but to go to another colored zone you need to leave the city center first and then find the entrance for that new color.
    In Belgium, only Brussels and Antwerp have low-emission zones; with their ring roads being just outside the low-emission zone border.

    You guys Leuven is not sketchy at all don't worry. Some parts of Flanders just look ugly, but they're fine. Next time you stop by visit Ghent, Bruges and the little towns to the north in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen (like Aardenburg, Sas van Gent, or Hulst) in the Netherlands.

    Speaking of borders, my grandfather was a policeman in Brussels and was once called for an accident between a car and a bicycle in a busy street downtown. Brussels is divided in 19 municipalities, usually with their own police station. The accident happened on the road which is Bruxelles-Ville while the car or the bicycle, I don't remember which, ended up on one sidewalk which is Ixelles and the other ended up on the other sidewalk which is Saint-Gilles. Apparently, it was a pain in the ass to make the accident report 😅

    Born and raised in Belgium i can give you some tips: Visit Bruges (there is a movie called 'In Bruges' with Collin Farrel you will have an idea what Bruges is like), a midieval city surrounded by water with so many midieval buildings, was the center place when the flemish people (Belgium is devided in 3, you have the Flemish side called Flanders, then you have the french side called Wallonie and the German side called the east side) kicked out the french people in the 14th century. When you're interested in ww1 and ww2 there's a lot to see here. Bastogne (the battle of the bulge) many museums, Diksmuide, the trenches from ww1, also in Ypres, Passchendaele, steenstrate where the first ever chemical bomb fell called yperiet. And in my home town Ostend the remnants of the atlantikwall, then you also have Brussels, the capital of Belgium, beautiful city

    What? You were in Leuven and did not show the Oude Markt right around the corner where you were? That is almost a crime. It is where all the pubs are and it is sometimes called "De langste toog van Europa". Leuven is the city where Stella Artois is from and thus AB InBev. the largest brewery company in the world.
