Windmills Village Zaanse Schans.
We will meet at your hotel in Amsterdam and start driving
north of Amsterdam to the town of Zaandam. Next to the river Zaan, we will visit a nice authentic village called 'Zaanse Schans.'
Here, we can find a Clog farm where you can see the production of old-fashioned wooden clogs, discover old-fashioned shops, visit the Cheese farm, and, of course, 7 different windmills. You can visit most of these windmills by paying an admission fee. There is a Spice mill, a Paint mill, an Oil mill, and a Sawmill, ‘Het Jonge Schaap.’ At this windmill, there is a demonstration of how wood for the ‘Dutch Maritime Fleet’ was produced. Also, you can watch a movie about the construction of this windmill.
Edam
Then we will drive to an old village called Edam, where, in the summer, Cheese markets are organized on Wednesday mornings. The history of this town goes back to before the year 1300, so you can find nice old buildings in this village.
Volendam and Marken
Then on to Volendam, an old fisherman's town with a lively shopping street. From the Volendam harbor, we will cruise to the former fisherman's island, Marken.
The cruise takes 25 minutes, and the guide will drive around the lake to Marken, where he will meet you.
Monnickendam and
Broek in Waterland
From Marken, the tour continues via Monnickendam to a nice old, tiny village called Broek in Waterland, where most of the wooden houses are painted grey.
At 4.30 p.m. we will return to the hotel in Amsterdam to arrive at 5.00 p.m.
