| About Netherlands |
|
|
| The Netherlands is situated on the Northern European between Germany and Belgium. Few other countries of this size have made such an enormous contribution to art, science, agriculture, publishing, technology, architecture, and design. The country's cities are among the most attractive in Europe, with their tree-lined canals and neat brick houses, while the transport system is one of the best in the world, providing an excellent network of trains, trams, and buses, not to mention 15,000 kilometres (9,300 miles) of cycle paths. Yet the Netherlands remains a precarious landmass, threatened on one side by the North Sea and on the other by the Rhine. It has suffered countless floods, from the Saint Elisabeth Day flood of 1421 to the Zeeland disaster of 1953, prompting the ambitious Delta Plan of 1957, which protects the vulnerable coastline with a series of dams and storm-surge barriers. |
