Discover the secrets behind Monnickendam. This harbour village has a rich history, which can still be seen in the small streets with its sixty historic facing bricks. There is a story behind many of these stones. We guide you, with a walking tour, along a part of these stones with their unique stories.

 

During the walk, we invite you to an organic farm in the area. The farmer has built a new barn especially for his herd of Jersey cows. It is built to keep the animals as pleasant as possible to encourage their natural behaviour. An invitation to a fun and educational walk on an organic farm. Information from a cheese lady about the production of delicious Dutch cheese and an organic tasting. In addition to this great experience, an organic lunch is served with various sandwiches made with local ingredients.

 

A unique bike ride along the Golden Circle. In one breath all the rich history of the Low Holland area. A beautiful area with many organic farms, old fishing ports, green forests and a lot of cultures. The endless sights in Laag Holland, or the stately farms, De Dijk with the IJsselmeer, the Stelling van Amsterdam with its impressive fortresses!

 

Halfway along the route, you will discover the secret behind the tastiest cheese in the world. We cordially invite you to come and take a look at the new pottery workshop of Henri Willig's organic farm.
