During your cruise you can visit Woerden. Active, versatile and dynamic Woerden is attractively located in the Green Heart in the triangle formed by Utrecht, The Hague/Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The city has a history of centuries, of which little is known, especially with regard to the first thousand years of our era, or even older. Fortunately, the area reveals bits and pieces of its history through archaeological finds.
The cheese market and the regional market are worth a visit, but the traditional products in many shops also stand out, especially the Woerdense cheese board.
The real farmer’s cheese is traded on the Woerdense Kaasmarkt. The visitors can see how the trade goes through “clap of hands” between the farmers and traders. The ringmaster explains all the secrets and traditions that the cheese market has to offer. When visiting the Boerenmarkt town of Woerden, a visit to the cheese market should certainly not be missed.
