When the waters freeze, the Dutch get crazy, get out their skates and explore the country over the frozen rivers and lakes. They live on the ice for as long as it lasts.
The real dare devils try out the ice when it is still very thin, and there are often accidents, sometimes fatal, where skaters disappear under the ice. After a few more days of freezing weather, more and more people join, until the ice becomes thick enough to organize tours. Skaters get a piece of paper on which they have to collect a number of stamps to be eligible to get a medal according to the distance skated. There are hundreds of tours all over the country, the most famous one being the Elfstedentocht, which is 200km in length but organized only in the coldest of winters. After a few days of freezing weather, people in the Netherlands speculate about the possibility to organize this mythical tour in Friesland.
