Green Coastal Road

Ik had deze bordjes al vaker gezien maar wist eigenlijk nooit exact wat ze betekenden. Dus: de Groene Kustweg is een 1.250 km lange autoroute langs de kusten van Nederland, Duitsland en Denemarken. Het idee voor deze weg ontstond in de jaren 1950, met de bedoeling het toeristenverkeer na WO2 te stimuleren. Kaarten en boekjes vertellen over de bezienswaardigheden onderweg. Bad Nieuweschans is één van de dorpen langs de route die de moeite waard zijn om te bezoeken.
I had seen these signs before but never knew exactly what they meant. So: the Green Coastal Road ('Groene Kustweg' in Dutch) is a 1,250 km long car route along the coasts of the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark. The idea for this route originates from the years 1950, hoping that it would stimulate tourism after WW2. Maps and books tell you all about the sights. Bad Nieuweschans is one of the towns worth while visting along the way.
