Special "Flood Protection" trip for the Foreign Press Association, May 31

Special trip for the Foreign Press Association’s members

A short boat trip combined with a bike tour and a visit to one of the new mounds (terp) ready for its inhabitants of the foreland of the River Maas: in short the invitation of Rijkswaterstaat for the members of the Foreign Press Association.
