Lichtenvoorde is a town in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Oost Gelre. Until 1 January 2005, Lichtenvoorde was an independent municipality. It includes also four small villages: Lievelde, Zieuwent, Vragender and Harreveld. The number of inhabitants in this municipality is about 20,000. The people from Lichtenvoorde are known as the ''keienslöppers'' (boulder haulers). The name is derived from a huge boulder at the marketplace with a stone lion on top. These are the symbols of the village. Lichtenvoorde is known for its flower parade (bloemencorso) which is held once a year in September, as start of the local fair. The parade features large vehicles, as wide as 5 m, as high as 8 and with no length restrictions, which are fully covered in flowers (usually dahlias). Subjects are free and range from depiction of fairytales to expressions, daily things to art. Lichtenvoorde has its own motorcross circuit on which international grand prix are held. ==Gallery== File:Lichtenvoorde kerk.jpg|Catholic church in Lichtenvoorde Image:Lichtenvoorde, kerk2 foto1 2010-07-19 12.02.JPG|Lichtenvoorde, Protestant church File:Erve Kots - Los Hoes 2007-07.jpg| Farm at the open-air museum Erve Kots in Lievelde File:Kerk Zieuwent.jpg|Catholic church in Zieuwent File:Vragender dorp.JPG|Vragender Village File:Harreveld hermien.jpg|Windmill Hermien in Harreveld 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lichtenvoorde」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
