01.

Mills

If we take a look along the banks of the Zaan River, we find one of the most traditional villages in the countryside. We can see different windmills working there, which were used for grinding, but also for the drainage of fields or the manufacture of wood.

02.

Wooden Clogs

We will go a clog workshop where they will explain us how these wooden shoes were made and what they were used for.

03.

Cheese

In a wooden house, we will find a cheese factory where they will explain many things to us and above all … they will give us a taste of everything.

04.

Lego Houses in Zaandam

And just when you thought you had seen it all… we arrive in Zaandam. Here, colourful houses await us, looking as if they had come straight out of a Lego box: green façades, impossible shapes and architecture that blends Dutch tradition with a modern, highly photogenic twist.

A perfect stop to take out your camera, look up and understand why this corner has become one of the most curious places in the area.
