🇳🇱Windmills in Zaanse Schans🇳🇱

#magicalxmastrip After indulging in an array of delicious cheeses, we decided to take a leisurely stroll around the picturesque windmills of Zaanse Schans. One of the highlights of our walk was De Kat, a remarkable windmill that holds the distinction of being the only remaining working windmill in the world that still produces paint. The sight of this historic structure, with its giant blades gracefully turning in the breeze, was truly captivating. We marveled at the craftsmanship and the rich history behind its operations, which have been preserved for generations. Learning about the traditional methods used to create paint from natural pigments was an eye-opening experience. It was a perfect blend of nature and culture, making our outing not just enjoyable but also enriching. Overall, it was a delightful way to soak in the beauty of Zaanse Schans while appreciating the unique artistry of De Kat. 😍 A definite must see and visit when in Zaandam. #xmastrip #xmas2024 #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #europe #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #amsterdam #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip
