Fivelingo: 't wierdenland aan de stroomnelweg

Under the unique and ancient area of Fivelingo, one of the very largest gas fields in the world was found in the late 1950s last century. Since that discovery, people in the country and abroad have been able to sit there warm in winter.

But do you know the true charms of the area. Reading about villages like e.g. Loppersum, Zeerijp, Krewerd and Huizinge, it is all about yet another earthquake. Images shown are those of houses with cracks, beautiful farmhouses completely in shacks. But each of these villages has a unique and fairy-tale atmosphere.

This route introduces you to some of these mounds and villages. The story begins many centuries back and takes you meandering through the Fivelingo to a glimpse of the future. It's like being Alice in Wonderland in a strange fairyland, where you have to see the contrasts between old and new, small and big with your own eyes, otherwise you won't believe it

The name of the area "Fivelingo" could not have been better. The atmosphere of the name reflects the story of the area; like a fairy tale, charming, powerful, tempestuous and special!
