Middelaar is a small village with less then 900 inhabitants in the north of Limburg province in the Netherlands where I was born. I make a cold early morning ride in autumn through the village ending at the Mookerplas lake (or Grote Siep) with back mirror camera.
Most of Middelaar was destroyed after the second world war, so most is rebuild. The lake was handmade through sand and gravel extraction after in the 1950s. It is now a popular tourist destination in summer.
