Embark on a journey through time with this immersive In-App Audio Tour, tailored for travelers eager to discover the charming windmills at Zaanse Schans. This tour offers a captivating glimpse into the Netherlands' past, unfolding across an inspiring milieu of spinning sails and rustic beauty just a day trip away from Amsterdam. Starting at the facade of the Zaans Museum, which we'll admire from the outside, you'll get a feel for the region's rich history through its architecture and heritage. As you meander along the quaint paths, you will witness the grandeur of De Bonte Hen, an antique oil mill, and marvel at the height and intricate structure of De Zoeker and De Kat, essential for making paint in bygone times. The tour winds through the scent of spices near De Huisman, to the vibrant Clog Workshop, and past the aromatic Cheese Farm, promising a sensory delight. Your voyage culminates at De Huisman, where the aroma of spices may stir your appetite for historical flavor. Along the way, visualize historical scenes from the workings of Het Jonge Schaap, a lumber-cutting windmill, to the vanished De Os, once a jack-of-all-trades windmill. Vivid illustrations and stories will bring to life the curious paltrok mill De Gekroonde Poelenburg that once constructed ships to sail Dutch waters. By the tour's end, the lingering scents of spices, sounds of mills at work, and colorful sights of heritage will have created a memorable tapestry of Dutch tradition and craftsmanship.
