Last Friday we received a special collector’s item on behalf of the Motorhome Eleven Cities Tour: the W.A. van Buren Biljet.<\/strong> A nice recognition of our involvement in the Eleven Cities Tour – and above all, a unique story that we are happy to share with our motorhome owners.<\/p>\n

A story that coincides perfectly with Koningsdag 2026 in Dokkum – the place where history, experience and Friesland come together.<\/p>\n

The story behind the W.A. van Buren Note<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Did you know that our king rode the 1986 Elfstedentocht … just as one of us?
Under the name W.A. van Buren<\/strong>, without notice, without privileges.<\/p>\n

Among thousands of other ice skaters, he rode the draft anonymously. That very moment – in which he became part of the crowd – grew into an almost legendary story in Dutch sports and royal history. <\/p>\n

The new W.A. van Buren Biljet brings this story to life in a special way.<\/p>\n

Not a souvenir, but a piece of history<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The bill is not a means of payment, but a highly designed collector’s item.
Made with techniques normally used only for real banknotes.<\/p>\n

The result?
A unique object at the intersection of design, history and experience.
Not just a keepsake, but something you first admire … and then truly understand.<\/p>\n
