Satria Nusantara (SN) is an active, modern and still developing sport. It combines physical aspects with mental training. In 1989 SN started in Delft, The Netherlands. It has now grown to a club with four branches in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Zoetermeer. The Dutch organization will be the center for spreading the sport over Europe. As initiative from the Dutch organization a brach has been established in Prague, Czecho and, also in Spain a branch has been established by the Indonesian community..
Equipment: For about 9 years I practise Satria Nusantara, the Javanese health-sport by exercises, breath-lessons and intense concentration. Because of my back doesnot function anymore as wished (my job as make-up artist longed for always same postions). The Satria Nusantara sport made me calm-down, down-to-earth and balanced the breathing. Whenever in The Hague you could watch Satria Nusantara and, when summer at the Southerly beach of Scheveningen, ZUIDERSTRAND... see info Website. Great experience!!!

In The Hague, like in every other city in Holland, you can rent a bike. It doesn't cost that much, it's fun, you could go to Scheveningen or Kijkduin and other nearby areas, and it's typical Dutch thing to do. One of the places where you could rent a bike is located in The Hague's Central Station at the parking garage. It costs 5.40 Euro per day or 27 Euro per 5 days.

The City-Pier-City Loop/Run is an international half-marathon (10 kilometers) that takes place annually in the Hague, with around 16.000 participants (and even more) every year.
This year the sporthappening was on Saturday 19 March 2005, and next year will be at 25 March. Enjoy this City-Pier-City Run from the The Hague's centre to Scheveningen or run with them over the boulevard and the beach ...
No, I didn't participate,... just got the items collector great City-Pier-City Run T-shirt ;o)))
Equipment: Don't think too easy about this marathon and, a good warming-up is needed, watch your food, clothes and running-shoos.

If you do like fishing, Scheveningen is the place to be. The North Sea still is great for sport fishing, like in summer fishing for mackerel with Rederij Vrolijk (see link). In winter time you can fish for whiting, cod- and dab-fish. Special fun is fishing close to ship-wrecks when captains drift over the place ...
When you want to take your family there are boat trips for the whole family along the coast, and some very special ones to watch the fire-works at Scheveningen. Great fun for sure!
Equipment: The fishing boats do have all needs and materials uoou may rent, or buy. Ofcourse the sport fishing along the beach is very popular, so bring your own gear like fishing-rod, lead, under-cords, baits ... donot forget the high boots ;o)

The Dutch coastline is well-known for stretching out from South-west to the North-east. Windy weather is essential and get the offshore winds for surf, they are the best ...
When onshore combined with offshore it is rare and will not last for a long time, take a break that day at Scheveningen, the harbour and beach resort of Den Haag/The Hague.
Equipment: Kite boarding Equipment, and take care for the half-hidden artifcial piers (breakwaters), currents & rocks.
At Den Haag just follow directions Scheveningen harbour and boulevard or take the tram. Spot is close to the Northern harbour pier at the boulevard. This part of the beach is dedicated as "sports-beach". Look for De Waterreus Beach-spot where you can have a nice drink and food. Check the tide!
Weather-ceck: Web-Cam >>> -> weather
Extra: in summer: pay parking at the boulevard, watch it!!!
Scheveningen North: >>>

Take time to meander - losing yourself in the maze of alleys, streets and lanes is one of the Hague's principal pleasures. The streets wind and wander with no discernible order or object. After our stroll we rewarded ourselves with a cool glass of beer or wine for our effort! We learned that you won´t do justice to the entire city of The Hague whenever you won´t visit other parts than just the main sights. So ... do meander, because the cluster of sights around the Hofvijver and Noordeinde Palace (main sights) are truly beautiful, but the more secret pleasures of the hushed backstreets are just entrancing.
When strolling through the heart of the city, one can literally sense its history. The lanes of the old town, which lies directly at the foot of the Noordeinde Palace, communicate the feeling of past ages. Splendid town residences and chapter houses are worthy of closer scrutiny, as are some of the inner courtyards hidden discretely behind arched gates. Moreover, the many spacious squares with their lively hustle and bustle are never far away. All this may seem very though as finding your way in the Hague might be difficult, but in really distances are short and the signs will help you in getting around. Enjoy!

Most people try to rush The Hague on a budget so they end up missing some of the highlights in a whirlwind. The key to seeing The Hague properly is a game plan, you must know what you want to see before getting out. Before we visited The Hague we saw on a city map that the huge city of The Hague is divided into four main areas to visit:
* Westeinde and Hofkwartier;
* Winkelkern, Oude Centrum and China Town;
* Historische kern and Nieuwe Kern;
* Beach area of Scheveningen.
When we first visited The Hague we decided to visit the area in and around China Town with its alleys and winding streets and we walked our way through the more residential area in the Westeinde and Hofkwartier area. The second day of our visit we visited the city and we hiked our way through all remaining areas like the historische kern and the beach area of Scheveningen.
Our hikes were beautiful in the old town, where the village is one huge ancient site in which we could walk for quite some time. It was quite strenuous sometimes, but definitely worth while! While most tour guides don't recommend getting lost in the alley´s, this part of The Hague is the place to get hopelessly lost for some time. We wondered off through mysterious and steep alleyways leading us away from the crowds. We ended up at the Palace Noordeinde gardens, Plein 1813 (old central square in a beautiful park), mazes of backstreets and deserted gardens. The real The Hague?
