Zaanse Schans: The Mills Still Grind, Self-Guided App Tour

The mills still grind, and the green houses behind them arrived on trailers between 1961 and 1974 so you could see what the Zaan already was. The walk starts at the Zaans Museum, Albert Heijn's stone laid in 1997, then the tiny grocer at Kalverringdijk 5 that opened in 1967. De Huisman came here from the Blauwe Pad in 1955. De Kat still sells pigments from ground stone. De Zoeker presses linseed. Het Jonge Schaap saws timber. Ten stops, about 1.5 km, ending at De Bonte Hen.
