Production background
As Alfred Jodocus Kwak and Henk de Mol fly on Treurwilg to Zonderwaterland, Alfred recognizes Hoog Bergland. He notices it in between noticing Breed Rietland and the Middellandse Plas.[4] As Breed Rietland is a stand-in for Germany and the Middellandse Plas is a clear stand-in for the Mediterranean Sea, it is highly likely that the mountains in Hoog Bergland are a reference to the Alps. It is unknown if Hoog Bergland is meant to be a specific country within the Alpine region.
Notes
- ↑ This is an assumption based on Kaspar Rokodil and Olaf Nijlpaard wanting to set up a TV channel that presumably would be picked up in Groot Waterland.
