On our way to molen De Rat

Very picturesque view of windmill De Rat, used (and stil) as wood sawing. It was originally in use in Zaandam (where Martha lives !!). In 1826, due to abundancy (steam power), it was sold to IJlst.

Info board on IJlst(Drylts)

In the thirteenth century IJlst was situated next to the 'Middelzee'and thus had an open connection with the sea.
The name IJLst comes from Y or Ee (name of the river). Y is also the name of the river to Amsterdam from IJsselmeer.

Old Nooitgedacht factory, built in 1925, now (probably) being torn down, to make place for some new town centre. (number 4 on map)
