De Adriaan

Have been living in Haarlem for a couple of years now and actually have passed this mill quite often by bike. During a family weekend, we did a walking tour through Haarlem and the last item on the tour was a visit to the Adriaan windmill.
The tour starts with a small video about the different windmills in the area of Haarlem. After that, you go into the windmill itself. The guide explains the different works of the windmill. During our tour, we also got to talk a bit to the guy operating the windmill. Because we were at the end of the day and the windmill was just stopped by the operator, he invited us to go all the way to the top of the windmill, which normally is not part of the tour. It was actually very cool and interesting to see how this icon of holland is put together :)
If you have some time and you are interested in windmills, then give this tour a try!
