There is a Giant Pyramid in The Netherlands

We could not believe that there was an actual, huge, pyramid out in the countryside of The Netherlands! In this video, you can see us exploring the Pyramid of Austerlitz.
We made the day trip from Amsterdam to the cute area just east of Utrecht but, of course, needed to eat before we went pyramid hunting. So we stopped at The Teahouse Rhijnauwen to try their self proclaimed TASTIEST PANCAKES IN THE UNIVERSE! We really loved the vibe and food there!

    If you like the the view of the "Utrechtse heuvelrug" you could have combined your trip with a visit to the watchtower in the Kaapse bossen in Doorn, Just a few miles away, nice walk and a beautiful view.

    Trip suggestion: the American military cemetery in Margraten (Limburg province). During the summer season with leaves on the trees absolutely worth a visit. Very impressive and emotional to see the names of 10,000 American soldiers who gave their lives for the liberation of The Netherlands and Belgium. The historic and attractive town of Valkenburg is nearby, the two destination can be visited in one day.

    When Napoleon conquered the Dutch Republic he made Amsterdam officialy the second capital of his empire, and installed his brother as king of "the kingdom of HOLLAND" (the Netherlands was the only and first federal republic , so before the French revolution and he admired the dutch republic. (And made it a kingdom with relativ independence) His brother went too far in integrating with the Dutch and had to abdicate his crown, after HOLLAND became just a part of the French empire. (Not for long though) After the defeat of Napoleon the Dutch became the kingdom of the Netherlands with the son of the latest stateholder Willem the fifth of Orange (who earlier fled to England) Anyway The Netherlands was a republic long before all that. (And it typically still is)

    Piramide of Austerlitz was built by the army of Napoleon 😊 In whales they built a mountain! There is a movie about it called: The Englishman went up a hill and came down a mountain. About a group of survivors measuring the mounting in Whales. One mountain fell short, so it was degraded to a hill. The locals weren’t happy about this and decided to fill up the hill, so it becomes a mountain again! This was about a hundred year ago. During the filming they measured the mountain again and found out the ground level went down to a hill. The locals repeat the hole process making it a mountain 😅 kzread.info/dash/bejne/p5OFq9OSXbGfY9o.htmlsi=EM6Gjnf1GyFJ9kT3

    a donkey is a ezel ! We have a pyramid, O it is the France, we did not appreciate being French. i know the hunnebergen in Drenthe those are pretty cool (stuff like stone hegde period stones like in UK ) it's the Netherland, you wake up with sun in your face, by the time your out of the shower you have rain, after breakfast its sunny you step outside and get rained on welcome to the Netherlands.

    This theehouse Rhijnauwen should sponsor you. As from today business will be blooming. Too bad Nate didn't get to pet the donkeys. You sharing both sweet and savory pancakes ❤ Syrup we call 'stroop' here. Some people cut wafles in half and put this 'stroop' in between. You should try. The drone shots are exceptional. You explaining some Dutch history to your Dutch viewers is so Kafkaëske? I don't think many Dutchies have heard about this pyramid and even less know the story behind it. Your channel is both entertaining and informative. I never would have linked this pyramid with George Orwell. How about this Robert Redford movie 'The Last Castle'? The slo-mo sequence is why this whole Internet thing was invented in the first place. The secret of the universe hidden in the obelisk? Like the number 42? You will be going to Paris during the Olympics! Wow. For people who don't like sports or other people you will be going way out of your comfort zones. We are not worthy! I hope you will support Team NL. French crêpes are way overrated and too expensive. Don't tell me you will be going to Disneyland. Almost 10k subscribers. Come on people! Share the love. 💛
