The windmills of Zaanse Schans

Here you can read my photo spots and my photo suggestions for the windmills of Zaanse Schans close to Amsteram in Netherlands

In this area you can see some windmills, some of them are still working and can be visited.

How to reach it:

It’s very easy to reach from Amsterdam, you can use the train at the station of Zaandijk Zaanse Schans

This is the exact position of the windmills area

You can also use this tour from Amsterdam with GetYourGuide

 

 

The area offers a great opportunity to take photos of windmills, you can also ride a tour on the canal so you can take photos from water.

Some mills are open, so you can even go up and take pictures from above, capturing the details of the mill blades.

 

 

In any case, one of the most photogenic spots is a small house with a bridge and the reflection of the canal. It’s a very photogenic spot, and I recommend you see it. You have to go inside; this is the exact location.

Be careful because it is a private home and not a public place, so respect privacy!
