The climate
Summers are pleasantly warm, while spring and late summer are pleasantly mild. Autumn continues for a long time, even in November it can be very pleasant in the autumn sun. In winter it is more changeable, rain and fog, but also sunshine.
All seasons have their charm here: the unprecedentedly clear starry sky in summer, the flaming autumn colors in the forest, but also the tranquil atmosphere in winter, after which the exuberant splendor of a meadow full of spring flowers heralds summer.
In general it is 5 degrees warmer than in the Netherlands. Fortunately, there is an occasional rain shower: that way it stays wonderfully green here.
