   After Monnickendam you drive to the cheese farm Jacobs Hoeve to learn everything about the production and making of cheese. The demonstration is very interesting and you can taste all kinds of cheese (included). And they ship your cheese to your home, if necessary.

   WOW-experience: Jacobs Hoeve has a very modern stable with Jersey cows. All the cows wear a collar with a chip and they are fed and milked automaticly by a robot, without any human intervention. This technique is very sophisticated and top of the bill. This is a must see. You will be amazed.

   Zaanse Schans

   From Edam you drive via rural roads through the Wormer polder to the windmills at Zaanse Schans. There used to be more than 600 mills here: saw mills, paint mills, ship rig mills, oil mills, paper mills etc. It was the first industrial area in the world. Now only a few of them are saved. And you are going to visit one of them: a real working old fashioned saw mill, like the were working 400 years ago.

And last but not least: smell the wonderful scent of the cocoa factories on the other side of the Zaan river. Walking=1,5 mile
