Haunted Castle - a falling star.
So many visitors enjoyed this attraction, it was just scary enough it's even where Kate Bush performed some of her songs. A falling star illustrates the end of this attraction after summer 2022, to be replaced by something new. It continues as a precious memory but the most scary of all was the end of this attraction itself. Even wishes from a falling star didn't help.

Dordrecht - From the historic location of the 'Hof van Nederland' you can walk straight into the narrow Hof alley. Also an old alley with a former fire brigade house (Brandspuithuisje) at number 3. From this house the fire guards (klapwakers) once walked their rounds at night to see if there was a fire.
Today, the small art studio "Atelier Hof 3" is located at this address. The thick wooden doors are open, inviting people to enter the pottery workshop. It's a perfect art gallery to browse through the ceramics in the shop. Inside there is a purely traditional atmosphere, numerous unique handmade ceramic creations let the eye and visitor wander through the store. It's also where the very kind potter often can be seen at work. Behind the shop is a small courtyard, perhaps the smallest courtyard in Dordrecht, which is beautifully decorated with many forms of ceramics. Try to spot the ceramic Dragon, it guards the heat of the shop chimney.

A few chairs and a table. Worn out but every year still there. It's a common view in many French villages, people are used to take a seat outside in many months of the year.
It's one of those excellent places to sit and enjoy this medieval town. It looks a bit worn out but that's because of frequent use, a French custom. Imagine, just add a nice French coffee, a crispy Croissant and the local newspaper. It's one of those many healthy moments of peace in the outdoors.
Over the years, not much has really changed in this corner, at most the grape stump with fresh green leaves in early spring and to see how the grape bunches mature during the summer and autumn. Who wouldn't want to have their own terrace like this, and the time and opportunity to use it almost the whole year round.

Baron 1898 (Est. 2015) - a dive coaster in which visitors take a perpendicular free fall. The attraction is themed as a late nineteenth century coal mine as in the Limburg Mining Region, but in the story, and of course for the Efteling, told to be a gold mine. The name Baron 1898 refers to the background story of the saga of the Witte Wieven, in which a greedy mining baron, Gustave Hooghmoed, has found a gold vein and wants to extract as much gold as possible from the ground. However, the fertile soil is protected by the Witte Wieven.

War Memorial Hartebrugkerk (Est. 1949, ceramics, artist Jules Rummens). The war memorial in the portal of the Hartebrugkerk is a memorial in the Dutch city of Leiden, commemorating the Second World War.
The Hartebrugkerk is a 19th-century church in Leiden. During the war, the bronze church bells were confiscated and melted down by the German occupiers. In May 1949, a ceramic relief was placed in the bow drum above the entrance of the church to commemorate this event and other acts of war. It depicts Christ between the soldiers and suffering civilians.
In many countries, the church bells (important symbols of faith, hope and peace) and numerous other bronze, silver and gold historical and art objects were confiscated by the Germans, stolen or robbed and then melted down for use in the German war industry. Often reissued as rewards for further death, destruction and war crimes of unprecedented German brutality in military, political and civilian misdeeds. German decorations were issued in bronze, silver, gold and gold with diamonds.

Ceiling of the 12th century "Lanterne des Morts" (Lantern of the Dead) tower. It's linked in history to the abbot Bernard of Clairvaux who playes a major role in the second cruisade and build in 1147 by the Knights Templar. Standing inside it feels like a space still wayback in late medieval history.
It consists of two rooms, though the upper room above the ceiling has no entrance...

The old centre consists of impeccably restored stone buildings, with 77 protected monuments it's on France's tentative list for future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Largely car-free with lots of narrow ancient streets and small stores, an absolute pleasure to walk through and to discover.
