Discover the Charm of Het Zwarte Kalf Mill

Getting There

• Walking

  From the main entrance of Zaanse Schans, head south towards the Zaan River. As you walk along the river, you will see traditional Dutch wooden houses and windmills on your left. Continue walking along the waterfront for about 10 minutes until you reach the bridge that crosses the river. Cross the bridge and continue straight onto Kalverpolderpad. After a short walk, you will find Het Zwarte Kalf on your right.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bike from one of the rental shops in Zaanse Schans. Once you have your bike, head towards the Zaan River and ride south along the riverbank. Follow the same path as described for walking, crossing the bridge and proceeding along Kalverpolderpad. The total cycling distance is approximately 2 km and should take about 10 minutes depending on your speed.

• Car

  If you are driving, exit the Zaanse Schans area and head towards Kalverpolderpad in Zaandam. Use your GPS to navigate directly to Kalverpolderpad, Zaandam where Het Zwarte Kalf is located. There is parking available nearby, but do keep in mind that parking may incur a fee. Make sure to check local parking regulations to avoid fines.

• Public Transportation

  For those preferring public transportation, take a bus from Zaanse Schans to Zaandam station (Bus line 391). Once you arrive at Zaandam, you will need to take another bus or walk approximately 15 minutes to reach Kalverpolderpad. If you opt for the bus, look for a bus that goes towards Kalverpolderpad directly. Be sure to check the bus schedules in advance as they may vary.
