[Video] Drone footage of the empty Efteling

By Rachel Deloughry

Efteling is the most popular amusement park in the Netherlands, steeped in fairy tales and lying in an enchanting forest. It is one of the oldest theme parks in the world, and one of the best theme parks in Europe - in fact, it's Europe's third most visited theme park. Now, though, due to the safety measures to halt the further spread of coronavirus, the park is shut.

Drone footage shows the attractive theme park looking as tempting as ever, located in a green woodland area, with ponds dotted amongst the eternally lush green trees thanks to the Dutch weather

The most visited attraction in the Netherlands is now empty

Efteling is the most visited attraction in the Netherlands and gets around five million visitors each year, beating all of the Dutch museums and the Keukenhof by a lot. Now it's closed and even still, it is an impressive sight! Enjoy the drone footage of the most popular attraction in the country!
