Dörpen Papenburg Groningen
Early morning departure for Papenburg and optional excursion to the Meyer Werft shipyard. Founded... see+ in 1795, Meyer Werft originally built wooden boats, and did not stand out from the twenty or so shipyards in Papenburg at the time. At the end of the 19th century, the company took the gamble of moving into the manufacture of steel boats, and since then it has undergone continuous development and has survived to the present day. Run by the same family for six generations, the shipyard's history has been marked by a number of vessels, notably the Triton, the first iron ship built in 1874, and the Graf Goetzen, a 1913 steamship shipped in crates to Africa to sail on Lake Tanganyika, the same ship that became famous as the German patrol boat in the 1951 Hollywood film The African Queen Odyssey. For 1h30, an enthusiastic guide will show you all the secrets behind the construction of these floating monsters.
Afternoon sailing to Groningen on the Ems Canal. Built between 1866 and 1876, this important waterway link is mainly used by coasters. Arrival in Groningen in the evening.

Towards Lemmer, you'll cross Lake IJsselmeer, Holland's largest lake, with a surface area of 1,100 km². It's a very special lake, as it used to be part of the Zuiderzee Sea.

Then on to Lake Markermeer before reaching the Dutch capital in the evening. Gala evening.

We'll meet our guides at Heidelberg Castle, where we'll explore the exterior of this magnificent, partly ruined pink sandstone castle. Since the end of the 18th century, the castle ruins have inspired painters and poets who saw them as a symbol of the greatness and decadence of human endeavors. Goethe, Hölderlin, Uhland and Eichendorff celebrated the castle landscape, while many painters chose it as their motif. Discover the geometric terraces of the Palatinate Garden, the "Hortus Palatinus", once considered the "eighth wonder of the world". Your guides will take you on a tour of the old town.

Departure by coach for a guided tour of the city. Amsterdam is one of the world's most extraordinary small cities. From its canals and world-famous museums to its many sights and historical treasures, Amsterdam is one of Europe's most romantic and surprising... see+ capitals. Stop at the Riecker Mill, a windmill located on the banks of the Amstel River to the south of the city. The mill was built in 1636 in the village of Sloten. Pumping of the polder water was taken over by an electric pumping station in 1932, and the mill was subsequently dismantled when the polder was dug up to create, among other things, Lake Het Nieuw Meer. In 1961, the mill was re-erected some 8 kilometers away on the banks of the Amstel, between the Kalfjeslaan and Borcht roads. The banks of the Amstel at this point are much frequented by tourists and walkers, and it's a prime location for an old Dutch windmill. A statue of Rembrandt has been erected next to the windmill as a reminder that the painter drew many pictures on the banks of this river. Then visit the famous flower market. You'll find thousands of fresh flowers, as well as bulbs of the famous tulip (with the gouda ball, probably the best idea for a souvenir gift), shrubs, plants... The countless varieties will make you dizzy. Return by coach.
