Fort Edam

Reviewed By steve-norf - Norwich, United Kingdom

The volunteers here were very friendly and helpful. And there is a printed English copy of the guide available. The view from the top is interesting because although the top of the fort is only a couple of meters above ground level it’s so flat around you can see for miles. We went on the cheese market day as it isn’t open very often. It closed at 15:00h thevday we were there and is worth at least 2 hours or more. It’s a 10 minute cycle ride from the centre of Edam but a much longer walk. It really is good value for the small entrance price.

Kaaswaag Edam

In earlier days Edam cheeses were weighed at the Kaaswaag, in the historical heart of Edam. A visit to the Kaaswaag weighing house and the summer cheese market will take you back to the origin of the world-renowned round cheeses. The Kaaswaag has a permanent exhibition about the art of making cheese. It goes without saying that you can also sample and purchase cheese here. Sorry we are closed from October-March.
