アムステルフェーンのおすすめツーリングルート

素晴らしい歴史と見どころがたくさん

Founded by Dr Samuel Sarphati, a leading physician in the 19th Century, the hotel was created as an architectural monument. A palace on the banks of the Amstel, which would put Amsterdam on the map internationally. The hotel was built in collaboration with Cornelis Outshoorn, one of Amsterdam’s most progressive 19th -century architects, and was inspired by some of the most famous buildings in Europe. With beautifully detailed arches from the “Golden Age” and the richly decorated lobby, the hotel has attracted many prominent figures and guests, who wanted to experience the glamour of the Amstel Hotel since it opened on April 27, 1867. https://www.amstelhotel.com/history/

(in the US: Peter van Haarlem!) keeps the dike closed. According to the most original story, he uses not just one finger, but an entire hand. As depicted in this statue. (Grada Rueb 1950) Incidentally, the boy's name is unknown, nor is it mentioned in the statue.

As in probably every other profession, there are also a few so-called "black sheep" among the many honorable millers in the milling trade. In his book "The Flight to Egypt," the popular children's author Otfried Preußler recounts the following short episode: "And they didn't even make it all the way to Klostergrätz that evening, but a mill lay along their path, the Kloster Mill – and there they stayed until the next morning. At first, the miller was almost struck dumb when the Imperial and Royal Gendarmerie suddenly knocked on his door: Apparently, there had been some disputes with a customer last week over a few sacks of grain, which had inexplicably disappeared from his mill […] but it could have been that he was reported for it anyway – and now they were coming to get him… Naturally, all the disputed sacks of grain immediately fell from the miller's mind, as [Sergeant] Hawlitschek simply asked for lodging for the night."

This is the RIEKERMOLEN. Not the Sloten Mill.

SMS (SundayMorningSkate) will be the starting point for the most important roller-skating event of the year: Rondom Amsterdam. It will be held for the tenth time in July 2025!

I skated past it quietly. Beautiful building!

It is wonderfully quiet to cycle here, a nice alternative to the (busy) Amsteldijk.
