Het Gooi

Travel Guide

Once the home of the duck hunter, now used to explain how the nearby duck decoy once worked - the English word originates from the Dutch word “eendenkooi”. 

Still has a few ducks left, the lucky kind. The decoy is now in the middle of nature reserve Naardermeer.

This little town was so picturesque that I was busy too busy soaking it up rather than taking more pictures.
A statue of Comenius next to his mausoleum and a small museum. There is a larger statue next to the church. Both are way too small to commemorate such a great educator.
