Along the Vecht River near Weesp stand two historic windmills: De Vriendschap Windmill and d’Eendragt Windmill. De Vriendschap was built in 1900 after an earlier windmill was destroyed by lightning and still grinds grain. d’Eendragt is older and has served various purposes over the centuries, including being a corn mill, a shell mill, and a sawmill. These windmills are a reminder of the time when Weesp was a center for beer breweries and gin distilleries that required large quantities of ground grain. Of the dozens of windmills that once stood here, these two are the most famous remnants. The windmill on the right is De Vriendschap Windmill, where you can often buy flour and baking mixes in the windmill shop on Saturdays.

A beautiful route along the Vecht River. Be careful, though, as there's construction going on along the quays.

Great quiet road, nice asphalt but quite a bit of turns

Unfortunately, you cannot visit the fort from the inside; access is only for the companies or associations that have their premises there.

Recently new asphalt. So new that it was actually still closed and I had to sprint via the verge against an excavator that was ploughing the aforementioned verge.

Keep on going

From this point you have a beautiful view of the mill and the polder. If you look closely you can see old patterns of peat extraction in the polder. The Hoekermolen was built in 1874 on the site of an earlier mill, which burned down that year after lightning struck. The mill was restored around 1963. In 2005/2006 the mill was thoroughly restored, with a longer screw being installed to also cope with the lowered polder level. (source Wikipedia)
