Fun fact
Gustav Mahler
(Kalište, July 7, 1860 - Vienna, May 18, 1911)
Mahler visited The Hague once. On October 2, 1909, he strolled along the Scheveningen beach. That, however, was not a success. "The dreary loneliness of the sea disappearing in the fog and the colorless, closed hotels made Mahler nervous," an eyewitness tells us.
