Traditional Dutch crafts and trades in Utrecht

In the Utrecht region you’ll find true Dutch crafts and trades, still being carried out in the traditional way. Look inside the cheese warehouse and discover how cheese is made and matured. Drop anchor at the fishing village of Spakenburg where the magnificent old fishing boats still moor in the historic harbour. Admire the glassblowers in action at the glassworks and see how flour is milled in one of the region’s many windmills.

There's more to being a miller than making sure the mill's sails are turning. It takes knowledge and insight into the technical aspects, operation and maintenance of the mill and how it is influenced by the weather.
