De Langstraat runs on a large group of committed and passionate volunteers who welcome visitors daily and share the region's best stories. But who exactly are these people? What drives them to do this work and what makes their role so special? It is with this curiosity that I set out for three weeks in a row in Geertruidenberg. I meet city guide Hans, city guide and museum employee Ad and desk clerk Monique. These are their stories.By Laura van der Wal

Through winding country roads I drive into De Moer. The window of my car is ajar and the singing of birds blows inside. What a tranquility and space.

Only birdsong and somewhere in the distance the mooing of a cow. As far as I can see I see greenery and space. By Laura van der Wal
