Buitenschot walk

The hiking route starts at the Oude Raadhuis at Hoofdweg Oostzijde 675 in Hoofddorp.

Behind the Oude Raadshuis you can see Molen de Eersteling. This beautiful old mill is a historical monument in Hoofddorp – and it is still in operation! You can even buy freshly ground flour here, directly from the miller. The mill has a unique history. In 1977 it was relocated from the center of Hoofddorp to the current location at the Fort of Hoofddorp on the Hoofdvaart. It was a remarkable move, for a monument of no less than 100,000 kilos! 

Near the Molen de Eersteling you will find the Fort of Hoofddorp. There is much to experience at this unique historic site from 1904. For example, you can attend theater performances and concerts in the open-air theater and view exhibitions in this beautiful monumental building. You can also enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner here, at restaurant Fort NOXX.

The hiking route continues via the Geniedijk to the IJweg and leads you partly through Buitenschot, after which you walk back into Hoofddorp. The route ends where you started, at the Oude Raadhuis.
