Decidedly the most spectacular and peculiar event in the Netherlands is the 11 Cities Race.
In this collection of travel stories, The Netherlands has a special place, because I was born and raised here. And I actually still live here. Thinking about the most Dutch sight or event I could share with you, I decided that the Elfstedentocht, or 11 Town Tour, is by far the most typical Dutch event with a very special place in Dutch culture. Although difficult for foreigners to understand, I will still try. The Elfstedentocht is a skating tour of 200 kilometres, held only in very cold winters which allow all the canals and lakes to freeze with a substantial amount of ice, capable of carrying the 16,000 participants. The tour is held in the province of Friesland, but the entire country comes to a standstill when it happens - it is perhaps the strongest typical and unique cultural event we have.
