A paradise for introverts discovered in the Netherlands – the Loosdrecht lakes (9 photos)

An introvert's paradise has been discovered in the Netherlands—the Loosdrecht Lakes. Peat was once dried on these thin, elongated islands, but the mines were closed, the quarries were flooded, and a whole system of lakes was formed.

Now, cozy houses with moorings and all the amenities stand there: electricity, running water, internet, delivery, and mail—everything like a regular village, but boats are used instead of cars. Water sports enthusiasts and those seeking peace and quiet from all over the country flock there.
