Nettelhorsterweg street Live Cam

The Nettelhorsterweg runs between avenues of trees near Geesteren, in the eastern part of Gelderland in the Netherlands. The webcam looks along it from beside the carriageway.

This is the Achterhoek, a landscape of small fields divided by hedges and tree lines, which locally is described as scenery in wings, like a stage set. The pattern survives because the sandy soil was farmed in small holdings rather than consolidated.

The roads through it were planted with oak and beech in the nineteenth century, partly for timber and partly to mark the route in snow. Traffic here is light enough that the camera can go minutes without a car.
