This wide area of Western Europe roughly stretches from French Gravelines and Dunkirk at its southwestern point, to the area of Dutch Delfzijl and German Eastern Frisia at its northeastern point, and to Luxembourg and French Thionville in the southeast. [PAR] [TLE] IJscolf [SEP] IJscolf was a sport played on ice, popular in the Low Countries between the Middle Ages and the Dutch Golden Age.
