Everyone knows the symbol of Holland - windmills.
Being in the Netherlands and not seeing them is almost impossible. However, if you want to see them closer, see how they work, go inside and see how ancient mechanisms, without any electronics, do the same work that they did a few hundred years ago, then you need to go to the Zaanse Schans .
The Zaanse Schans is an open-air museum. Samples of Dutch windmills, characteristic buildings are collected here, as well as the main crafts - a functioning cheese factory, the manufacture of klomps - traditional Dutch wooden shoes and, in my opinion, the most interesting, working mills.
The peculiarity of this open-air museum is that everything that is presented in it is alive and real. That is, the mills do their job and earn money from it (mustard production, oil crush, sawmill, etc. ).
), the cheese factory makes delicious real Dutch cheese, klomps are also made real on old machines, though they are bought by visitors mainly as souvenirs. In the collected samples of houses, people actually live and run their household.
In a word, despite the fact that this is still a museum, the exhibits there are not just real, but really living!
