Hattem, The Netherlands (2021)
We were on a roll while discovering The Netherlands during the Covid period, slowly ticking off our list of interesting places in our home country. Another small city we visited during the winter of 2021 was Hattem in the province of Overijssel. Even though the weather was great, not many people were around as all shops and restaurants were closed.

Hattem city hall
The old & new city hall in the city of Hattem in The Netherlands next to each other. The old building which is in the centre here is definitely the most beautiful of the two, especially when it is lit by some sunshine.
Collecting clogs apparently
While walking around in the city of Hattem in The Netherlands we noticed this small shed. The owner is collecting clogs apparently. A lovely and colourful sight to see.

Lovely street
One of the many lovely streets in the small city of Hattem in The Netherlands. We really enjoyed being able to stroll around in the empty streets, one of the few advantages of the Covid pandemic.
