BACK IN TIME WITH THE STAPHORST DAYS In the (for now) last part of the series 'Waterrijk Nederland' we see old crafts during the Staphorst days in the polder village of Staphorst. Then we also visit the former Hanseatic city of Hasselt. The Hanseatic cities were a trading alliance during the Middle Ages between some 200 cities on the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. For the Flemish: yes, there is also a Hasselt in the Netherlands. A truck driver did not realize this and had to deliver in Hasselt - Belgium but when setting his GPS he did not realize that this is 'only' 230 km south and could not find the address (true story).
