Immerse yourself in the shoes of an elderly Dutch miller (or perhaps a youthful one – who can know?) at the Sloten Windmill, a functioning water-draining mill with an attached museum located on the outskirts of Amsterdam. This spinning marvel traces its origins back to 1847, and it stands out as one of the limited number of windmills accessible to visitors. The opportunity to take a guided tour inside is quite a unique experience. Witness how the mill manages water levels in Amsterdam West, observe the turning sails, and much more. Given the increasing sea levels, this information could potentially be crucial!
