Mill Het Jonge Schaap is the latest addition of the Zaanse Schans. This sawmill is a wonderful working example of 17th century art that have brought the Golden Age in the Netherlands.

Ask our co-worker in the shop for the possibilties of renting an e-bike for several days.

Tickets boat trip and mill

Directions for the bicycle trip
To make sure you get the best route, we have made our own route description. You drive a circle, so the outward journey and the return journey from Amsterdam to Zaanse Schans and back, are not the same. We have a printed/plastified route ready for you. But you can also follow it on your mobile (ask our employee).

Extra service for on the road
Maybe some rain has been predicted for the road… If you’re worried about the weather, ask for a free rain cape. If you keep the e-bike for more than one day (only possible in consultation), then it is useful to ask for the charger.
Do you have any other questions? Feel free to ask them to our employee in the shop or send us an e-mail (info@macbike.nl).
