Old crafts cycle route

Discover Dutch crafts and trades during this cycling route through the Green Heart.

Yellow gold – that delicious craft cheese on your bread. Cheesemaking is a complex process requiring plenty of know-how and experience.

The miller’s craft
The miller’s craft has also been recognised as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2017. It’s a classic Dutch tradition with deep historical roots. You’ll find many windmills in the region that are still in operation today. Take a guided tour with the miller, experience the story of craft milling or buy a bag of mill flour.
