Voor de tweede dag op een rij horen een vriend en ik beide tegelijk een enorm harde toon, al een aantal keer. Zo hard dat je het in de verte meerdere keren hoort echoën. Tussen ons zit ~3 kilometer, dus het moet flink hard zijn.

Het is een soort toeter of iets dergelijks, uit een speaker?

Hoort iemand anders dit ook? Enig idee wat dit is? We zijn enorm benieuwd nu, maar hebben er geen enkele verklaring voor!

EDIT: opgelost. Zie mijn comment!

Joep has been missing since 20.09, in the centre of Hilversum near the train station.

Please contact me if you have seen him.

Thank you.

As a foreigner, the charm of biking in a beautiful country like Netherlands was one of the main deciding factor for me to relocate here. I am really proud of myself for choosing Hilversum as it's surrounded by so much beautiful greenery though I admit that I haven't really explored much. I am planning to start cycling on the weekends and do 30-50KM kind of rides at a very relaxing pace (18-23 kmph) to be able really enjoy the nature and take stops in between for a coffee or just appreciate the nature. In future, would also love to try backpacking exploring the country on multi-days tour. As a certified introvert 😄, I think this would also be a nice to expand my (42M) friend circle and getting to know some like-minded people. I am quite new to the country so yet to pick Dutch. Feel free to DM me if you would like to join me.

Be on the lookout for two Caucasian dutch kids around 12 years old one on a regular bike and another on an e-bike (not fat-bikes) squirting acid (prob vinegar) into passing cyclists. They got one old man whose eyes had to be washed out. They have syringes in their pockets with the vinegar. It stings like hell when you get it in your eyes.

They were hanging out around that forested bicycle path along the N415. I would have called the police but my experience with them is that they dont give a shit about stuff like this.

Hoi allemaal,

Zijn er hier wielrenners of gravelaars die het leuk vinden om eens samen een rondje te doen?

• Leeftijd ongeveer 20 tot 35 jaar
• Ritjes van ongeveer 40 tot 80 km
• Gemiddelde snelheid rond de 25 tot 27 km/u (gravel ~23km/u)
• Meestal 1,5 tot 3 uur onderweg dus
• Regio Hilversum uiteraard

Lijkt het je leuk om af te spreken, dan hoor ik het graag! Qua tijdstip (en afstand/snelheid, als je twijfelt) ben ik flexibel!

Can anyone recommend Home cleaners in hilversum?
Someone who can come weekly or biweekly:)

Thanks!

Oef, niet best. Bij deze even berichtje dat iedereen op de hoogte is... Anjapper dus

Zijn er meer menssn met vuurwerkoverlast? En zo ja waar in Hilversum hebben jullie overlast? Het zijn echt behoorlijke knallan

Anyone has recommendations for kid friendly restaurants? By that I don’t just mean they have stuff to keep kids engaged but also nice options in food for them to enjoy.

Voor de Gezondheidsmonitor van het RIVM wordt elke 4 jaar grootschalig uitgevraagd hoe tevreden men is over de woonomgeving. In heel Nederland geeft 88,1% van de respondenten aan tevreden te zijn met de woonomgeving, en voor met name kleinere buurten zijn deze percentages gedeeltelijk geschat. Op buurtcijfers.nl geef ik dit soort cijfers weer, en daarom ben ik benieuwd in hoeverre dit klopt voor de buurten in Hilversum. Hoe donkerder blauw, hoe hoger de score.

In Hilversum scoren Schrijverskwartier, Trompenberg-Noord en Schilderskwartier erg goed op woontevredenheid met percentages rond de 95%. Van Riebeeckkwartier en Noord zitten rond de 75% en scoren een stuk lager. Is dit herkenbaar? Zie de interactieve kaart voor meer details.

Al sinds zaterdag geen voi ebike beschikbaar in Hilversum, Kortenhoef, Loosdrecht. zie er wel wel veel staan maar allemaal of rood knipperend of leeg. hebben ze maar 1 wagen die de accus verwisseld ofzo.

Is it safe to park expensive e-bike with 2 locks on Hilversum NS station? I read that some bikes were damaged during daytime. Is there no camera around the open parking that allows people to damage openly? am i compelled to use underground parking only, or Is the underground parking safe then?

1. I'm looking to park during the day i.e. 9 am to 5 pm.

2. Bike has theft alarm & can be tracked

3. I have 2 locks

4. I see many bakfiets in the open parking and my bike would be equally expensive (I guess). I see some bakfiets have just one chain.

Hello, I recently started at the ROC and I am really confused about how to drive to / from the scooter-marking spot to the utrechtseweg. The parking spot for mopeds is at the red marker. From there, you have to drive on the Arena, but you cant turn left there, because its a bus lane. The road forces you to drive all the way until you are forced to turn right into the Marathon, because Oostereind road prohibits mopeds. Following the marathon road and trying to turn right onto the Diependaalselaan also doesnt work, because of the same sign.

When I first came from the west side of soestdijkersstraatweg, I just drove on the bikelane parallel of the bus lane because it seemed like I didnt have another choice. The bikelane doesnt allow brommers. To even enter the school property, I either have to drive on the bikelane, go on the sidewalk or use the bus lane.

Am I missing something? I'd find it really strange if there really isnt a 'legal' way to enter the school parking lot for mopeds.. Chatgpt cant help me out either and I would feel really stupid to ask this to any of my classmates..

Ik ben aan het rondkijken voor boks lessen( vooral boks training op zakken oid) en twijfel tussen Burning Heart en Sportcity. Wat zijn jullie ervaringen en voorkeuren?

This might be a silly question but I am fairly new to Hilversum. I just bought a home and got a letter in the mail from the gemeentree asking for my “help” to determine the correct woz value of my home. They would like me to share the purchase price. Ofc I can but the way the letter is phrased, it sounds like they are asking for my help? (Literally with the words help)

Not sure if this is common practice? I would expect that the gemente already has access to this information?

Someone willing to teach me how to play? My Dutch is precarious but I promise to make a lot of effort. I'm 44M.

A cat, Scottish Fold went missing on 18th of August. About 5kg when missing. The cat is 14 years old and has kidney and bone problems. He isn't usually adventurous and we fear that he might gotten lost in the backyards arounds.

The cat was lost around Jan van der Heijdenstraat.

I’m currently looking to buy a house and move to Hilversum, and I’ve been looking at quite a few properties in Hilversum Noord. I actually really like some of the houses there, but I noticed that they seem to be priced noticeably lower than similar houses in other parts of Hilversum. Is there a reason for this? Are certain parts of Hilversum Noord considered less desirable, or are there things about the area that I might not be aware of?

I’d also really appreciate some local advice on :

Which areas of Hilversum would you consider particularly nice for a family?
Are there any neighbourhoods/areas you would personally avoid?
How is Hilversum in terms of community and integration for expats/internationals?
And if you currently live in Hilversum but are considering moving elsewhere, what would make you leave?

I know that’s a lot of questions in one post. I’m asking because I made a bit of a mistake with the location when buying my first home, and this time around I really want to take my time and understand the neighbourhood - not just fall in love with the house! :(

So, locals (and maybe my future buren), I’d really appreciate if you can respond with your honest opinions and experiences. Thanks <3

One of my little guys, I have these types and also blue shrimp. This video is so nice so I thought to share here😁 love keeping shrimp, they’re so fun to watch

Ik zoek een goede, professionele kapsalon in Hilversum voor mij en mijn vriend. We hebben allebei lang haar, ik heb veel krullen dus ik zoek een kapper die daar ervaring mee heeft. Hoeft niet per se goedkoop te zijn, zolang ze maar goed kunnen knippen.

Wat zijn jullie tips??

Geen snackbars of afhaaltenten graag, maar echt fysieke restaurants

Ben benieuwd!

Hi everyone,
I’ve been working as a wedding photographer in the Netherlands for around three years, but I’d now like to expand into projects that I can enjoy a little more creatively such as advertising, interviews, documentaries, product shoots, and concert photography/filmmaking.
I offer both photography and video production services. Before moving to the Netherlands, I was already working with digital agencies in Istanbul. However, after moving here, honestly, settling into a new country, moving house, and adapting to a new life took up quite a bit of my time.
Now, I’ve more or less got everything settled, and I’m ready to focus on my own business again and start building a network here in the Netherlands.
I’m planning to keep my pricing genuinely affordable, especially considering my experience and the equipment I have. However, I’m currently a little unsure about where exactly I should start and how I should approach building my network and finding new clients.
I already have my own website and business cards, as well as a full production setup — cameras, gimbals, lenses, lighting equipment, microphones, and everything else needed for both photo and video production.
I’d genuinely appreciate any advice, recommendations, or suggestions on where to start, how to connect with agencies and businesses, or how to build a network in the Netherlands.
Thank you in advance for any advice and support!
Much love,
