My favorite windmill, but then again, I live close by. Beautiful to photograph, in any season.

This might be a long story. We had heard about this windmill from online research and it seemed like an awesome idea to bike to it from our Airbnb. First off, our bikes were in sad condition so that added to the fun. We were using Google Maps for navigation but it ended up getting extremely confused at a crucial turn. Also, let me say, it is not easy to navigate to a place you don't know, on a bike, when the bike paths in the Netherlands are as official as the actual roads. The crucial turn is when you have to veer off the official bike path onto a section that has signs with a picture of a bike crossed out. We assumed this meant no bikes allowed, but after passing this turn and upon seeing numerous people ride bikes (even motorcycles) down the path, we decided to scope it out. The windmill is pretty far down it, through a fairly large residential area that gives the appearance of being out in the country. When you get to the windmill, there's a little footpath that goes off the road and a place to park your bikes. It almost looks like someone's house but we saw another person walking on the path and they didn't say anything, so it appeared to be a walking path that went next to the windmill. It continued on past the windmill but we're didn't have time to explore it further. It's all very picturesque. Also, very windy! It was quite the adventure but I'm super glad we did it. For us, on such a short visit to the Netherlands, it was fun to get a quick glimpse of another side of the country, since we didn't have time for any day trips. If you're staying in Haarlem and like windmills, I would definitely recommend making it a point to visit!
Wonderful place and beautiful view
Prachtige molen De Eenhoorn langs wandelpad Spaarne en Zuidschalkwijkerweg
Erg leuk ! Hout zagen zoals dat vroeger ging, prachtig! Diep respect voor de oude tijd waar de mens verschrikkelijk inventief was. Met de kracht van de wind planken zagen ! Deze oude molen doet dat volledig en dat is mooi om te zien . Prachtige plek zo langs het spaarne je want je zo eeuwen terug in de tijd.
