Kalverpolder

Highlight • Natural

Extensively used polder with many birds. The American windmill 'Hercules' on the east side is still able to drain the polder, although an electric pumping station has been built next to it for those rare days without wind. The Zaanse Schans is located on the west side of the polder.

Oostzanerveld Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Part of the Natura-2000 area in Oostzaan, just like the Twiske. Sandwiched between the A7, A8 and the village of Oostzaan, it is an area that can almost only be reached by water. Or with the skate on the rare days when there is enough ice. The cows here are still taken by boat from one pasture to another by one of the few 'Vaarboeren' who still actually work like this. The current farmer is called Koeman and his boat is called the Koeman Express.

Twiske Recreation Area

Beautiful, absolutely perfectly maintained local recreation area! A place that radiates absolute peace and relaxation. A restoration directly on the water offers cooling possibilities. Clean toilets are also available in this area.

Twiske Mill

Highlight • Monument

The Twiskemolen is an octagonal thatched ground sailor between Landsmeer and Oostzaan in the recreation area Het Twiske. It has a radius of 24.00 meters. The mill was built here in 1974, after it initially stood in Barsingerhorn for draining the Hooglandspolder.
With our inline skating club we come here several times a year. Beautiful environment!

View of the Twiskemolen windmill

Highlight • Monument

An iconic polder mill in the nature reserve Het Twiske, surrounded by water, meadows and reed fields. The Twiskemolen is still in operation and contributes to the management of the water level in the area. A beautiful piece of Dutch heritage, perfect as a stopover during a walk or bike ride.
