Food was nothing special, but the setting was nice. Very quiet and tranquil

Great to eat or drink something on a nice sunny day biking or walking around. They do parties and also private bbqs. The prices are very decent. Saté, 'bittergarnituur', beer etc are all served there.

Super top band, 🥰 🥳

Nice location. Very windy when we where there.

Didn't go to the café but visited the rest of the fortress

Nice ww2 monument

Local bar

The story of Hans Brinker, the silver skates, and plugging a hole in a dike by a Dutch boy’s finger saving the town from a flood is not real. It’s folklore. But the historic village of Spaarndam has capitalised on the story’s fame popularized in the book ‘Hans Brinker; or, Silver Skates.’ This children’s classic was written by American writer Mary Mapes Dodge, who didn’t visit the Netherlands until after her book was published in 1865. Born in New York (formerly New Amsterdam) in 1831, Mary was fascinated by Dutch history and culture. She obtained firsthand knowledge about Dutch life from her neighbours who were emigrated from the Netherlands. After WWII, the book about Hans, the silver skates and his finger gained popularity in the United States. The story about sticking his finger in the dike to save a village from a flood became legendary. As American tourists started visiting the Netherlands after the war, they kept asking where they could see the dike and Hans Brinker’s village. Never letting an opportunity to attract tourists go to waste, the Dutch Bureau for Tourism decided to place a statue of Hans Brinker in Spaarndam in 1950. The statue was sculpted by the Dutch sculptor Grada Rueb of Breda.

(Translated by Google) This statue was erected in 1950 and is famous in many countries. It is a statue of a boy who was saved by the Netherlands by blocking an embankment with his body. The village is cute and pretty, but the sculpture itself is not as big as you think and there is nothing else to see, so it is appropriate to visit it while passing by. (This boy's story was originally written by an American children's story writer with a Dutch background, but it is said that it was written later because it was not known well in the Netherlands^^;;) (Original) 1950년 세워진 동상으로 여러 나라에서 유명한, 제방을 몸으로 막아 네덜란드로 구한 소년상입니다.마을은 아기자기하고 예쁘나 조각 자체는 생각보다 크지않고 이외에 다른 볼 것이 없어 지나가는 길에 방문 정도가 적당합니다. (이 소년의 이야기는 원래 미국 동화작가가 네덜란드 배경으로 쓴 이야기인데 정작 네덜란드에서는 잘 모르다가 후에 세운 것이라고 합니다^^;;)

(Translated by Google) Nice story, but it was a small statue of Hansje Brinker with the viger in the dike Savior so that no flooding pllats found. (Original) Leuk verhaal maar het was wel een klein beeldje Hansje Brinker met de vi ger in de dijk Redder zodat er geen overstroming pllats vond.

(Translated by Google) A hero from Spaarndam, a household name in the Netherlands and world famous. Seen this weekend with a blindfold and Extinction Rebellion sign around his neck. Very appropriate. Then and now, Hansje makes us aware of our actions and their effect on the immediate environment! (Original) Een held uit Spaarndam, een begrip in Nederland en wereldberoemd. Dit weekend gezien met een blinddoek en bordje van Extinction Rebellion om z'n nek. Wel toepasselijk. Toen en nu maakt Hansje ons bewust van ons handelen en het effect hiervan op de directe omgeving!

(Translated by Google) Small monument to the eternal struggle against water. (Original) Klein monument voor de eeuwige strijd tegen water.

(Translated by Google) The monument to the child who saved the dam by putting his finger on it. It takes a while to find it, but it's one of those things you have to do when you come to Holland. (Original) Il monumento al bambino che salvò la diga mettendoci il dito. Ci vuole un po' a trovarlo, ma è una di quelle cose che bisogna fare quando si viene in Olanda.
