Hiking

The Holland Pop Festival was a three-day pop festival in 1970, in the Kralingse Bos in Rotterdam. The musical event went down in history as the Dutch version of the American Woodstock Festival in 1969. Despite the rain, tens of thousands of people attended. (from: Wikipedia)

In 1970 the Holland Pop Festival took place in the Kralingse Bos. This was the first major pop festival in the Netherlands. Viewed from the lake side (with the Kralingse Plas in the back), the festival site is visible on the forest side. Artist John Blaak initiated a memorial

Hiking

As a teenager, I spent several days listening to music from the fence on my racing bike. Back home, they thought I'd been training for ages again...
I found it incredibly fascinating.
It was also the first multi-day festival on mainland Europe. Naturally, it was heavily inspired by the Woodstock festival held in the US the year before.
