Groningen Papenburg Oldenburg
Optional tour of the Meyer Werft shipyard. Founded in 1795, Meyer Werft originally built wooden... see+ boats, and was no different from the twenty or so other shipyards in Papenburg at the time. At the end of the 19th century, the company took the gamble of moving into steel boatbuilding, and since then it has gone from strength to strength. Run by the same family for six generations, the yard'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 steamer shipped in crates to Africa to sail on Lake Tanganyika. This same ship 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. Return to Doerpen. Continuation to Oldenburg. Arrival in the evening.

Activities

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.
