Den Bosch In Your Pocket - Binnendieze Canal Tour (Kring Vrienden 's-Hertogenbosch)
Amsterdam is famous for its canal tours, but the Dutch wouldn't be caught dead taking one. Instead locals head to the country's most beautiful canals in 's-Hertogenbosch. Den Boschers are quick to point out that it's one of the only places in Europe where boats cruise underneath buildings.
Canals and waterways are an intrinsic part of the Netherlands' history. They're also a vital part of the Dutch transportation and shipping industries. But where Amsterdam canals are filled with traffic and shipping boats, 's-Hertogenbosch canals are quiet and peaceful. Moreover, Amsterdam boat tours are commercialised and are little more than a glorified bus ride. 's-Hertogenbosch canals, or De Binnendieze as the locals call them, are exclusively reserved for one tour company: Kring Vrienden van 's-Hertogenbosch. These boats are small offering seating for a maximum of 12 people and have no roof, so definitely bring your rain gear.
The unique thing about De Binnendieze is that the canals also go underneath the city. On the water you'll notice markings and old bits and pieces hanging above that date back hundreds of years. Unfortunately, most of these happen to mark the spots where sewage was expelled from the buildings above, but you don't have to mention that when you write your postcards home.
When the guide turns on the flood light and shuts the engine off you're surrounded by pitch-black darkness and you can't help but wonder if these canals were used for illicit means like smuggling stolen goods or meeting forbidden lovers. When you come out into the daylight the canal is surrounded by high brick walls. This may not seem very appealing, but when you add the small docks, the lush overhanging plants, the blooming trees above and the uniqueness of the tour, you'll realise that this is a must do in 's-Hertogenbosch.
Sadly, the whole tour is in Dutch, but you can get a translated copy in English at the tour office. Binnendieze has come a long way since it was used as a sewer hundreds of years ago and today you can enjoy its unpleasant past without the unpleasant sights, sounds and smells that accompanied it in medieval times.

Sfeerbeelden uit... 's-Hertogenbosch
Mijn grootste hobby is fotograferen en filmen. Ik ga dan ook graag vaak op pad met m’n camera. Al langer ben ik bezig met het maken van filmpjes met de titel “Sfeerbeelden uit”. Het eerste filmpje was “Sfeerbeelden uit Veghel”. Nu ik woonachtig ben in Den Bosch, vond ik het een mooie gelegen om ook sfeerbeelden uit deze stad op te nemen. Zo heb ik tijdens verschillende evenementen mogen filmen. En ik heb ook nog leuke activiteiten in en rondom ’s-Hertogenbosch gedaan, waarbij ik mijn camera mee heb genomen.
Het filmpje “Sfeerbeelden uit ’s-Hertogenbosch” heeft een mix van (lokale) evenementen, Bosschenaren, cultuur, natuur en een aantal bekende plekken.

's-Hertogenbosch - the Dutch Den Bosch is worth a trip HD
In may 2013 we spent a saturday in Den Bosch the capital of the province of North Brabant in the Netherlands. There are many ways to see this beautiful city. Our favourite way was not by boat, how 150 000 visiters in a year. We walked trough the city and enjoyed the lively Market Square, the canal network called the Binnendieze below the old city, Saint John's Cathedral, Noordbrabants Museum, City rampart, many old buildings, pups and restaurants in the alleys and the Bastionder museum, enjoy !

Unsere Lieblings-Weg war nicht mit dem Boot, was jährlich ca.150 000 Besucher wählen. Wir gingen durch die Stadt und genossen den lebhaften Marktplatz, das so genannte Kanalnetz der Binnendieze unterhalb der Altstadt, die Saint John Kathedrale, das Noordbrabants Museum, den Stadt Schutzwall, viele alte Gebäude, die Restaurant Gasse und das Bastionder Museum, übrigens auch ein super Tipp zum shoppen, auch an den Wochenenden, viel Spass !

Den Bosch In Your Pocket - St. Catherine's Church (St. Catharina)
Almost 150 years ago, architect Jan Stuyt was deeply inspired by the Hagia Sophia on a trip to Istanbul, then Constantinople, and this gorgeous domed church, completed in 1917, is the magnificent result. Although a church has stood on the same spot since the 16th century, St. Catherine's Church is something completely unique to this traditional, typically Dutch city. Its colourful dome has a diameter of 22 metres and depicts the so-called Eight Glories and the Three Remaining Glories painted by renowned Dutch artist Jan Oosterman. Every corner of the Kruisherenkerk (as it
is known colloquially) is adorned with big wooden statues
known as the choir of angels. The Byzantine Society of 's-Hertogenbosch, who hold Latin services on Sundays, also have their own chapel in one section of the church. It's also famous for its excellent acoustics and many concerts take place here for just that reason. The best time to visit is on an organised Kring Vrienden van 's-Hertogenbosch tour or just after mass.

Den Bosch In Your Pocket - The Grass Company Coffeeshop
's-Hertogenbosch features a very standard, yet decent selection of coffeeshops which at present respect the letter of the law concerning what they can and can't sell and to whom. Minors (under 18) aren't served so remember to bring your ID with you. Despite this downer, Den Bosch is still a city where you can find exactly what you want to smoke and where you want to smoke it. One thing to note, however, is that in contrast to Amsterdam, many coffeeshops seem to encourage people to buy roll and leave - giving you more time to visit the city while getting stoned, but resulting in a lack of particularly comfortable chilled out places to hang and trip out.
Located within a large building, this coffeeshop has all the usual high grade products from the grass company chain, as well as large seating areas. These areas are very light, feature views of the canal for boat watching and are a change from the usual cave-like darkness at standard coffeeshops. Friendly staff, a large selection of bar-coded weed/hash and good music more than compensate for its location out of town. Toasties are also sold for that after-smoke munchie.
