A 20-minute drive from Amsterdam brings you to the Zaan region, Western Europe’s oldest industrial area. Historically, over 500 windmills operated here. Today, ten windmills still turn in the historic village of Zaanse Schans. These picturesque mills are used for sawing wood and grinding flour, spices, and oil. Engaging demonstrations throughout the site introduce visitors to various traditional Dutch crafts.
In addition to the windmills, the countryside features polders, water, wind, cheese, clogs, and many other quintessentially Dutch elements. This day trip to the Dutch countryside, including visits to the fishing villages of Volendam and Marken, is a must during your holiday in the Netherlands. Discover the region’s history at a fascinating museum, enjoy a tasting at a cheese factory, visit an authentic Dutch bakery, and much more. Spend some free time at the charming fishing harbor on Markermeer Lake.
