Current Goal

Dit typisch Nederlans souveniertje heb ik gekozen om de wereld over te sturen. Het doel is om weer terug te komen in een geocache in Hattem. De reis begint in Parijs waar we op vakantie zijn. De door mij geplaatste geocache Minibieb Liefbeest is een van de mogelijke geocaches in Hattem waar deze TB in past.

I chose this typical Dutch souvenir to travel the world. The mission is to come back to a geocache in Hattem, The Netherlands. The journey begins in Paris, where we stay for a holiday. One of the geocaches where this TB can be placed is Minibieb Liefbeest.

About This Item

The journey begins

Klompen zijn houten schoeisel dat sinds de oudheid bestaat en gedurende de middeleeuwen en nog lang daarna in grote delen van Europa gedragen werd, vooral door arbeiders en boeren. Een oude benaming is holleblok of holsblok. De tripklomp is een laag uitgesneden klomp met een leertje over de wreef die vooral door vrouwen en kinderen werd gedragen.

A klomp (plural klompen) is a clog from the Netherlands. Klompen are whole feet clogs.

Approximately 3 million pairs of klompen are made each year. They are sold throughout the Netherlands. A large part of the market is for tourist souvenirs. However some Dutch people, particularly farmers, market gardeners, and gardeners still wear them for everyday use. Outside the tourist industry, klompen can be found best in local tool shops and garden centers.

The traditional all-wooden Dutch clogs have been officially accredited as safety shoes with the CE mark and can withstand almost any penetration including sharp objects and concentrated acids. They are actually safer than steelcapped protective shoes in some circumstances, as the wood cracks rather than dents in extreme accidents, allowing easy removal of the clog and not continued pressure on the toes by the (edge of the) steel nose.

Klompen can be made from willow or poplar.
