Cant wait to visit this summer. Will definitely make a donation
lovely video
Finally, I find a local showing us the Netherlands! 🙌 Great video, beautiful place!
Thanks! It is beautiful like many smaller Dutch towns! Tip: neighbouring town Oudewater is maybe even more beautiful!
@@robindiscovering the entire string of frozen in time tiny Dutch cities along the Hollandse IJssel is beautiful. Beautiful cycleways along the IJssel, all the way to Gouda and its historic Waaiersluis lock complex
@@robindiscoveringno MONTFOORT THE BEST MY TOWN 😂😂

What a beautiful little city; I am a new subscriber and look forward to watching your other Dutch videos. Thank you for your time Robin, it is very much appreciated. This is the type of history that I like to learn about
Thank you for your feedback, appreciated! My next project will be the city of Harderwijk...
Langs het tuinpad van mn vader… Ik kom uit de buurt; vroeger fietsten we de boerenbuurt door naar Montfoort. Nu is het nog even wachten en het is de zoveelste Utrechtse vinexwijk. Ik heb het dorpsmeisje in mij na het overlijden van mijn moeder verhuist naar een plek die zeker tot mijn dood nog dorp zal zijn maar ik mis mn roots wel hoor.
Het is een prachtige stadje. Wat bijzonder dat je daar hebt mogen opgroeien!
Precies meid, in de grote stad zou ik ook niet kunnen wennen. Groeten uit willeskop
These tours are really good
Hi Robin, great video, thanks very much for sharing! But, where is the castle? ....!! You built up our expectations and then let us down (just kidding.. 🙂). A shame that there is almost nothing left, who knows maybe some day there will be some reconstruction effort, although I know this would be awfully expensive. One of the things I loved in the Netherlands is how well old buildings and towns have been preserved, but I guess when damaged by war, preservation may be impossible. Great story and insight on the De Valk windmill too, I really hope the crowdfunding campaign goes well. All the best!
Thanks a lot Manos! I hope that the crowdfunding campaign for the windmill will be a succes so the millers can grain their grain the way it was meant to be once again. If you would change one thing in the video (for a next project) what would it be?
@@robindiscovering Hi Robin! that's a tough question, I don't really have any experience in video production I'm afraid 🙂. And as a viewer, I really liked that last one - but I also liked your previous videos. Yes the interview and the personal story made it more interesting, and the location maps and the historical details were very interesting to me anyway,. But I cannot think of something negative. I think if you keep creating more, you will inevitably keep improving, even without realising it. Also there must be something you can do to have more people watching your videos, and get more subscribers, but I have no idea what, I don't know that part of CZcams marketing and promoting etc. Anyway I hope you continue the great work and publish more, all the best!
@@manostroulinos1726 Hello Manos, Thanks for your note. I think my quality needs to improve further to get more attention on youtube, but I'm trying to learn and improve. I finally made another video, if you like you can check it out here: czcams.com/video/Dvpvn74SRzM/video.html .
The castle-lords were allways battling one another. Nothing else to do. The people did do all the work and the ladies were in-waiting, delivering or embroidering. Nothing changed much, except for the embroidering.
Looks all like a fairy tale but my God, all those mosquitos!!!
I really enjoyed this video. I’m adding Montfoort to my list of places to visit … and I’m a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Montfoort is wonderfull, combine it with Oudewater and you'll have a lovely day out.
Great video!
Thanks!
Proper Nederlands, "that is how it is". :D
Haha
Ooit bij Veere in Zeeland geweest? Ook heel mooi!
Dit is een goede tip, dankjewel!
You should bike! Much more to see! I live close by. Many old (around 1000years) villages and small towns there and farmland. Close by the river Rhine, the old smaller Rhine, the 'Hollandse IJssel'......and many many small waterways with all different names and purposes. Many of them dug by poor workmen. As everything is closeby a tourist can easily bike from one place to another.
I should bike more indeed. The region is best explored by bike probably! It is so easy to get around by bicycle in The Netherlands!
The Vlist towards Schoonhoven is a great route too
@@urbandiscount and Schoonhoven is said to be quite nice too. Plan to visit soon (by bus). The whole route from Utrecht, Gouda, Rotterdam is nice, especially in Spring, by the local bus.
I hope people living there know it. Otherwise it would be a pain finding your way home...
Hahahahaha, good one! Cheers :)
Why did you not visit the big church? The door was open……..
Yes I should have! Maybe I will for another little project in the future!
Knobody????? Really?
Relatively unknown yes, it's well known in the region of Woerden, but not so much outside of it...
@@robindiscoveringyou still don’t get the hint…
Knobody is fout!
@@hansdenotter7376 hahaha inderdaad, lol het was me niet opgevallen lol!
