What comes to mind when you think of the Netherlands? Bicycles, endless tulip fields, and mills, right? Join us as we explore the magical village of Zaanse Schans, a place that looks like it’s straight out of a storybook with its lush landscapes, quaint mills, and the scent of fresh grass, spices, and chocolate in the air.

Imagine mills that still work and make money today, speak their own language, and are operated by millers with science degrees. Ever wondered why some mills are believed to be home to ghosts? Come with us and find out!

Experience the local lifestyle in the Dutch countryside, taste unique cheeses, waffles, chocolate beer, and become a fan of anise liqueur. Our journey from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans by train includes visits to old mills producing everything from paints to perfumes. Meet the millers, uncover their secrets, try on wooden clog shoes, dive deep into the world of cheese, and if luck is on our side, meet a 20th-century music legend!

As we wander through this dreamy landscape, we’ll travel back to the 17th century, the Golden Age of Dutch navigation, industry, and art. Discover what polders are and the unique knowledge the Dutch have. We’ll talk about traditions and modern times: the respect for nature, cutting-edge agricultural technologies, social projects, and the spirit of volunteering.
