Via beautiful cycling routes in the province of Utrecht (and a bit in 't Gooi), you will pass mills where female millers and miller apprentices turn. You can choose from a total of six different routes that are between 31 and 42 kilometres long. You might come across other mills along the way that are greyed out on the maps. Only men work at these mills so they are not part of the project. These millers also do great work, so if you see them: wave!
At each participating mill, you can enjoy audio theatre: a piece of art for the ear on location. This is based on the special stories of the millers and MIOs and lasts 5 to 10 minutes. In fact, outside you will find a QR code of 'She is Miller' that you can scan with your phone. You can then play the audio clip with your phone (tip: bring headphones or earphones!). So, even when mills are not open for visits, you can be inspired by the work of millers!
