Day trip DAF PV to the Zaanse Schans with a visit to Marken -Saturday, may 10, 2025
The Zaanse Schans is a freely accessible residential and working area from the year 1850. Despite the fact that visitors from all over the world come to experience the heritage every day, it is important to know that people still live here. Stroll past the bakery museum, enjoying the scent of fresh pastries, or take a peek inside the warehouse where clogs are made. You certainly should not miss the various windmills, museums, crafts, cheese dairy, and tin foundry. The Zaanse Schans is a unique heritage site in the Netherlands, full of monumental houses, windmills, warehouses, and craft workshops. A day out at the Zaanse Schans in North Holland is both fun and educational.
Marken is a special and authentic part of the Netherlands, beautifully preserved and worth exploring in depth. Marken exudes the authentic atmosphere of the past in a quintessential Dutch environment, where green and water alternate. Narrow alleys, drawbridges, and green wooden houses give the feeling that time has stood still. Welcome to Mèreke, as the locals will say.
