Frisia The sand dunes here are particularly well-maintained and monitored, as they are a major tourist attraction in Frisia, along with the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea. Martin Siepmann/ age fotostock
The north of the Netherlands is characterised by the province of Friesland, a territory of farmland and lakes which lives somewhat apart, with its own language, identity and traditions. The dunes, which stretch for 140 miles, protect the population from erosion by the sea. The rhythm of life in Friesland seems completely out of time with the rest of the Netherlands.
