This winter, the ice in the Netherlands has remained ice-free, so it was only for the Dutch ice hunting club "De Robben" to pack up the hunts and head north to Herrfallets camping at Hjälmaren.

- It is both good ice and good accommodation here, says ice hunter Maarten De Groot.

Last year, however, the ice hunters remained in their home country due to travel restrictions in connection with the pandemic.

- It was lucky that it coincided with 2021 because then we had three days of ice in the Netherlands, says Maarten De Groot.
