Description

Go for a nice bike ride through our capital. You can experience the typical Amsterdam atmosphere and it is always nice to learn something more in a museum. This cycle tour takes you to beautiful windmills, so there will be no shortage of cultural history on this tour.

The first stop along the route is the De Otter mill. This sawmill was built in 1631 and was the last of a large group of sawmills that stood west of the Buitensingelgracht. The Otter is a paltrok mill, special because there are only five of this type of mills in the Netherlands. Of these five, De Otter is the oldest.

You then reach the Press Museum via the former Theater Museum. This is our national repository for our journalistic heritage. With an extensive collection of magazines and periodicals, some of which date back to 1600, a unique collection of political drawings and many photos relating to the press industry, the museum is a figurehead for our freedom of the press. Of course, an extensive library and the history of the press in pictures should not be missing.

Finally, a mill is on the program. The 1200 Roe is a polder mill that takes its name from the distance from the mill to the Haarlemmerpoort. The mill was built in 1632 to drain the Osdorper Binnenpolder. In 1951 the ground sailor lost that function. The mill is still operational.
