Orvelte farms

The small village of Orvelte in the north east of the Netherlands is known for its monumental old farms. The town site is national heritage and you won't find modern new homes or buildings. Orvelte presents itself as a museum village, and throughout the year a number of events are organised -like the Winter Fair I told you about in my last blog posts.

Less than 100 people live in Orvelte. It's a wonderful place to wander around.

  8. Nog uit de tijd dat je wel verplicht was in evenwicht met de natuur te leven. Dat is nu wel even anders als je naar de eerste de beste nieuwbouw kijkt.
