Discover the Zaan Region

The Zaan region. The region of mills on the Zaanse Schans, Zaanse wooden houses and Zaanse mayo. These are certainly not the only highlights of the region. The Zaan region is also culture, conviviality, entrepreneurship, industrial heritage, the Zaan river and also the beautiful green peat meadow areas that surround our region. All these flavours together make the Zaanstreek.

Curious about what else there is to do? Take a look around the website, because the Zaan region tastes like more.
