   DID YOU KNOW ... That both its people and their language are known to English-speakers as Dutch, a name derived from the old language named Diets.

Together they were referred to as 'nederduits' (low-german) and the language in the area of the low countries was called 'diets', which explains the name 'Dutch' in English.
The Borger Hunebed Centre, situated on a sand ridge (Hondsrug) in the province of Drenthe, brings you back in prehistoric times, when the first peasants settled in Drenthe.
