Full description
Enjoy an afternoon learning about the inner workings of windmills in the village of Zaanse Schans. To begin, find out how the mill saws a tree into a plank and then learn more about the history of the famous Dutch windmills at an exhibition in the basement of the mill. Next, come inside the world's last-remaining, still-working paint windmill, which is dated back to 1782. If there is enough wind, you can even experience the grinding process and watch how the mill grinds chalk under the large grind stones. In the back of the mill is where the loggers stands, and it is where tropical wood is chopped. Be sure to check out the impressive working wooden interior of this "old" industrial factory.

Pensavo che l'acquisto dei biglietti di accesso ad un vero mulino mi avrebbe mostrato il funzionamento del mulino (in questo caso una segheria). Invece era tutto fermo e i proprietari comodamente seduti a chiacchierare. Quello che ho osservato l'avrei potuto benissimo vedere semplicemente dalle foto pubblicate sul sito.
