After eleven years the Dutch finally have a few days of real cold winter weather. Immediately the Dutch put on their skates for a skating ride on the rare natural ice.
Within in a few days the skating fever is spreading like wildfire, resulting in picturesque images of frozen canals, lakes and ponds full of skating people.
The Europe correspondent Christoph Nufer from the Swiss public TV channel Schweizer Fernsehen travels to the Netherlands to report about the Dutch skating fever. He visits the Kinderdijk, a place that is known for the it’s windmills, films and interviews skaters and puts some skates on himself.
For this news reportage Featurez gave advice, did the research, set-up, planning, accompanied the filming and organised archive footage from the 11 cities skating tour.
