This excursion takes you north of Amsterdam, to the edge of the river Zaan, where you visit the windmill village `de Zaanse Schans`, with its characteristic green wooden houses. On the turn of the 18th century this district was an industrial area with approximately 700 windmills in use. In this day and age there are only five left. We will pay a visit to a windmill and a wooden shoe manufactor. Before returning to Amsterdam, we take a stroll through the medieval town of Edam. (entrance to the windmill is included). Fridays (6 April - 7 Sept.) Edam is replaced by Alkmaar. See ´Alkmaar Cheese Market and Windmills´. Includes: • Deluxe coach • Guide • Windmill • Clogmaker |
