Stroll past charming green wooden houses, cross quaint bridges, and take in the peaceful canalside scenery. You’ll see operating windmills, some of which still produce oil, paint, or spices. You’ll also have free time to explore local workshops and boutiques selling Dutch specialties like stroopwafels, souvenirs, and handmade crafts. Don’t forget your camera — this is one of the most photogenic places in the Netherlands, with panoramic views of windmills set against the water and fields.

3. Simonehoeve

Get a taste of the real Dutch countryside with a stop at a cheese farm and clog workshop, where age-old traditions meet local hospitality.

Learn about the history of clogs, their practical use in Dutch farming life, and how they became a symbol of the Netherlands. Next, discover the fascinating process of making Gouda cheese. Learn how fresh milk is transformed into flavorful cheese through curdling, pressing, and aging, and how ingredients like herbs, spices, and aging time create different textures and flavors. This is not just a tasting — it’s an introduction to Dutch culture and culinary heritage. After the explanations, enjoy a generous cheese tasting session. You’ll also have free time to browse local products, souvenirs, cheeses, and handmade clogs in the farm shop.
