    Nice working windmill area on river side, some of them since 2015, some back to 1766. Renting a bike is recommended for the railway to the windmills part, but not necessary. Be sure to visit the cheese factory museum: we entered just to have a peek, definitely to buy nothing. We ended up tasting 20+ cheese types and buying 3 😁

    Worth making your own way there via NS rail before the afternoon coach parties. Great value if you have an I Amsterdam card, fun and educational.
