Janka Travels: Zandsculpturen / Sand sculptures in Garderen, The Netherlands (June 2020)

Each year the sand sculptures have a different theme. This year (2020) it is ‘75 jaar bevrijding’ (75 years of liberation). It has been 75 years ago that the Netherlands has been saved from the Germans in World War II.

The first part you will see sculptures from the war and the liberation. From Hitler, the leaders of the west during WW II, life in general during the war, the soldiers and the liberation of the Netherlands. The sculptures are part inside and part outside.

The second part is all inside. This part is a quiz. Each year a different theme as well. In 2020 it was cities. There were 36 cities shown. It is up to you to guess the right city. You put your answer on a form (which you get from the start of this quiz). When you have named them all, you will get a sentence. With this sentence you could win a price.

All the sculptures at this place are handmade. About 20 to 30 people are making these sculptures. It is amazing how they can make these sculptures from sand.

They use a special varnish over the sculptures. This way the sculptures are protected against rain ☔️ and hail.

There are also some shops for your interior. In the restaurant you could get some food and/or a drink.
