Zaanse Schans Review

Amazing architecture of the unique farm buildings there in addition to the famous windmills, and do pay a visit to the very humble but memorable time/clock museum tucked away right at the left side of the main visitors entrance.

it was so beautiful, the scenery and there are shops selling souveniers, clog making, cheese making. a fun day we had in zaanse schans

In the windmill village of Zannse Schans on the outskirts of Amsterdam, there is a beautiful windmill group on the river bank, and there is also a wooden shoe manufacturing society. You can participate in the wooden shoe production process. It is worth a visit 👍🏻😎.

The distance of each tourist spot in Amsterdam is far from each other. Make sure you have sufficient time!😉 We love the waffle there!

In the Windmill Village outside Amsterdam, the Netherlands has arrived. How can we not look at the windmill? Take the train Zaandam Kogerveld and get off, then walk to Zaandam Kogerveld bus stop. After boarding, tell the driver Uncle to get off at Zaanse Schans station and buy tickets directly from him. Five short stops are 2.5 Euros a person, expensive to death. The Windmill Village is free to visit. Three of the five large windmill workshops are open. One is a dye processing workshop, one is a peanut oil mill, and the other is a wood sawing workshop. Each one needs a 4 euro ticket. Cheese mill is also free to visit, there are instructions on how to make cheese, but also try to eat and buy in three open windmill workshops, the first is dye processing workshop, the second is the peanut oil mill, the third is the last and simplest is the wood saw, I went to the second peanut oil windmill, which can buy fresh pressed peanuts, see the whole workshop depends on one person, one windmill and inside. Machines squeeze out a lot of peanut oil, which is quite different from the way I saw on the tip of my tongue that we used to crush peanut oil with stakes by the labor of dozens of strong men. I really lament the incalculable impetus of the European Industrial Revolution to their entire region. There are also workshops for making Dutch wooden shoes, which are free to visit. I admire them for making their own wooden shoes into flower pots, penholders, fridge stickers and so on. ~The key is that some people are wearing them. I admire them very much.

Zaanse Schans, the first Windmill Village in the Netherlands, is the best way to visit because it is less than half an hour away from Amsterdam by train. Walking is the best way to see the windmill village. It retains the appearance of traditional Dutch villages. There are green wooden houses with distinctive features everywhere. Six windmills stand majestically near the river. The windmill is open to visitors only for a few euros. Besides, it is recommended to visit the cheese factory and wooden shoe workshop for free, experience the cheese made by traditional Dutch crafts, and buy a wooden shoe with Dutch characteristics as a souvenir.
