Dutch countryside
Flat pastoral Netherlands
The Dutch countryside is the rural landscape of the Netherlands, characterized by flat terrain, canals, windmills, and reclaimed polder land.
The term evokes pastoral scenes of dairy farms, tulip fields, and cycling paths through green expanses: We spent the afternoon driving through the Dutch countryside.
Despite the country's density, careful planning preserves these agricultural areas between cities.
