Highlight • Historical Site

This walk does not excel in beauty. Also runs entirely on asphalt. It's nice to walk past industrial heritage with the Zaanse Schans as the highlight.

Tour of Zaanse Schans done.
Nice area.
will cost you 17.50 euros next year.
Zaanse Schans is nice but a lot of industry in the area that you can smell every now and then.
All in all if you want to see windmills Kinderdijk is a better option!
