The Netherlands offers some of the most iconic winter scenery in Europe.  While the (mostly) dead-flat landscapes of the North European Plain generally preclude skiing, it's a paradise for ice-skating as well as more adventurous action sports which take advantage of its wide-open frozen expanses.  It's also simply beautiful, whether it be the windmills of the Zaanse Schans region west of Amsterdam or its colorful medieval towns.  Those are the takeaways from this fantastic DVOW-winning drone video of the Dutch winter by contributor By_ewold.

While the Dutch did not invent windmills, they developed an important variation called the post mill design which represented a major improvement over earlier designs.  The harnessing of wind to saw timber for ships was one of the reasons that Holland (the western province of the Netherlands) was able to establish a huge overseas empire in the 16th-17th centuries, in effect punching far above its weight.  Contributor Benpwallis used a drone to create an amazing aerial tour of these predecessors to modern wind turbines.

NTG DRONE ...

Probably no other country has modified its natural landscape as much as the Netherlands.  Going back to the Middle Ages, Dutch lands have been extensively engineered with dykes, dams, and canals to accommodate the stark fact that most of the country lies below sea level and thus extremely prone to catastrophic flooding.  In this drone video by contributor and pilot NTG Drone, you'll get a glimpse of some of this ingenuity around the town of Den Bosch in North Brabant, on the country's southern border with Belgium.

During the Duth Golden Age, Hoorn was one of the country's greatest seaports and a virtual company town of the Dutch East Indies Company.   Part of the Province of North Holland, it's a harbor town on the Markermeer, a lake which was created by the Great Closing Dyke in the 1930's and which cut off Hoorn's sea access.  Hoorn's fortunes revived after World War II as an important center of the Dutch horticultural industry.

Top AirVuz contributor and drone pilot Active Perspective created this amazing winertime aerial video of the largest lake in the Netherlands.  It's called the IJsselmeer, and it's actually only been a lake since the 1930's, when the North Sea inlet known as the Zuiderzee was closed off with a dyke due to ongoing flood risks.  Fed by the IJssel (a Rhine River distributary), the IJsselmeer is now a freshwater reservoir.  Given the climate, the lake partially freezes in winter, as you'll see in the video.

Kampen is one of the best-preserved cities in the Netherlands.  Located near the mouth of the River IJssel in the central province of Overijssel, it was once one of the members of the powerful Hanseatic League of cities.  It gradually lost its access to the sea, beginning with the silting-up of the river in the late Middle Ages and finally with the closing off of the Zuidersee in the 1930's.  Nevertheless, the town retains a proud sea-faring tradition, as you'll see in this drone video by SkyStudio.

One of the major natural dangers facing any non-arid plains area is flooding.  This is particularly so if there is a nearby river.  As a country on the Great Plain of Europe and crossed by numerous rivers, the Dutch developed some of the most sophisticated flood control techniques the world has ever seen.  Perhaps the best place to see this is in the area around Kinderdijk, a small town in South Holland near the confluence of several rivers.  See Kinderdijk from above, compliments of contributor Pepinair.
