National Windmill Day

The 2nd Saturday in May is always "National Windmill Day" in the Netherlands, or Nationale Molendag. Over 600 mills, all over the country, will be open for visitors and many will be decked out in festive decorations for the occasion.

We've never managed to be in the Netherlands for this special day. It seems that we've missed it by a week one way or the other because other things dictated our travel schedule - like getting the lowest possible airfare!

We'll miss it again this year, but it makes me smile to know that the Verbiest family will have De Trouwe Wachter open and will be welcoming everyone who stops by.


Gelukkig Nationale Windmolendag!
(hopefully Google Translate got that right!)
