The Windmills were really impressive and we enjoyed the demonstration of clog making and how the cheese is made. Unfortunately it was extremely busy but our tour guide ensured we got to see everything.

The trip is a bit too long considering the attractions that weare offered. Both presentations about shues and cheese production took not more than 5 minutes while the time fot shopping was almost 60 min or more. I feld like the trip was about the sale instead of presenting the main content.
