There is little elevation in the western part of Deutschland. The land use struck me as being efficient in that the farmland seamlessly flowed into towns with small, light industry. Cows or sheep grazed close to the road as one entered and exited smaller communities. The closer we got to the Netherlands, the pace quickened and we covered a lot of ground, taking a break at the border to acknowledge the transition.
Checking into a Dutch hotel in Coevorden was simple as we were now in Erma’s neck of the woods of reclaimed land. The lowlanders are masterful engineers who have turned the land beneath sea into a productive, rich source of food and culture.
