From Edam you drive via rural roads through the Wormer polder to the windmills at Zaanse Schans. There used to be more than 600 mills here: saw mills, paint mills, ship rig mills, oil mills, paper mills etc. It was the first industrial area in the world. Now only a few of them are saved. And you are going to visit one of them: a real working old fashioned saw mill, like the were working 400 years ago. Learn how this saw mill was built, admire the old fashioned techniques, hear the mill crunch while sawing, feel the floor vibrate, get explanation of the volunteer certified millers and experience a "WOW" attraction. Then you walk through the pittoresk village with beautiful green wooden houses. Taste cookies in the bakery museum. Visit the clog museum, admire the many types of clogs and experience how clogs are made. And maybe you want to try to walk in clogs. And last but not least: smell the wonderful scent of the cocoa factories on the other side of the Zaan river. Walking=1,5 mile
