Activity Details
Volendam is a small fishing village near Lake Iser. In the past, when it was a bay, people here lived on fishing. Later, in order to withstand the flood, the Dutch built a sea barrier in the north, and the bay became the current Lake IJssel. Fewer people are fishing, but tourists are gradually increasing
Windmill Village is a residential, open reserve and natural museum. Ancient architecture vividly depicts Dutch life in the 17th and 18th centuries. Real houses, ancient shipyards, wooden shoe shows, and windmills attract thousands of tourists every year. The Zaan District may be the first industrial area in the world. 250 years ago, more than 800 windmills stood on this small land. They undertake various industrial tasks. Museums in Windmill Village include wooden shoe factories, bakeries, cheese and dairy workshops, and grocery stores for more than 100 years
The island of Marken on Lake Ise is a thing of the past to say that it is a small island. Now the small island is connected to the land through the dam, but the small village on the island still retains the taste of a paradise. The cottages in the village are all painted with green exterior walls, green fences are planted with various flowers and plants, the windows of the cottages are bright and spacious, and the curtains carefully selected by the owner are hung on the windowsills. The small river in the village is vertical and horizontal, and there are small suspension bridges named after members of the Dutch royal family, and ducks and geese on the water. Small and large sailing boats are moored in the port near the lake, and the water is full of bars and small restaurants. When the church bells in the village ring, you will definitely want time to stop there
