[Video] A magical morning in Zaanse Schans

May 24, 2020

Tucked away in the town of Zaandam is the magical neighbourhood of Zaanse Schans. The area is a popular tourist destination, with museums, little antique shops and of course, the famous historic windmills.

Zaanse Schans like you’ve never seen it before

Being a popular tourist destination, Zaanse Schans is often busy, especially in the summer months. With the sun shining, and the sky blue, the area feels like a bright, happy little village with its old-style buildings and wooden barns.

However, this video will show you a very different Zaanse Schans. In the early hours of the morning, when the fog still hangs in the air and the sun is beginning to rise, the picturesque setting exudes a beautiful, almost mysterious quality. Something about this video is indescribably breath-taking and really makes you appreciate nature’s beauty, check it out below!
