The green route from Amsterdam North to the Zaanse Schans

From the center of Amsterdam you can take the ferry to the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam North in no time. This route starts from here.

The route takes you past the typical windmills through this area. You start at the NDSM square and cycle through the working-class neighborhoods of Amsterdam North, past the Admiraal mill and into the rural center of Landsmeer. Landsmeer is a vast ribbon village located in a green and water-rich environment, with the beautiful monumental Twiske Mill in the Het Twiske recreational area. Be amazed along the way and stop for photos of typical Dutch expanses and cultural history. You continue cycling through Oostzaan past Bliksteenmolen de Vlijt and can admire the Windjager windmill in the Oostzanerveld (breeding place of many meadow birds) and then head towards the famous Zaanse Schans.

Have fun!
