Visitors to Terschuur can tailor their stay to different interests: traditional crafts and toys, the history of buildings and their use, or a hike in the surrounding area. The Oude Ambachten & Speelgoed Museum brings together demonstrations and toy-related exhibits; the farmhouse ’t Tweel and Den Olden Florus / Kallenbroeker Molen each showcase specific historical details. The Klompenpad Terbroeksepad adds a route through the countryside around Terschuur and Zwartebroek. These differences can help you decide whether to focus on culture, a historical detail about a building or its use, or a hike.

Traditional Crafts and Toys

Several traditional crafts are demonstrated live every week at the Oude Ambachten & Speelgoed Museum. Demonstration times may vary, so it is worth checking the current schedule when planning your day.

The toy museum includes a play area as well as various traditional Dutch games and toys for children. Outside, there is also the Oud Hollands Spellenplein, which is part of the museum. If you are planning a visit with children, you can use these games and toys as a guide; they offer a distinct focus alongside the craft demonstrations.

The History of Buildings and Their Use

The farmhouse ’t Tweel was built in the Gooise country-house style, based on a 1927 design by architects E. and F.J. VERSCHUYL from Hilversum. The design, architects and style give this historical detail a clear architectural focus.

Under the stairs of Den Olden Florus / Kallenbroeker Molen there is a slide that was once used to quickly send sacks of flour down. At ’t Tweel, the focus is on the design and Gooise country-house style; the slide, by contrast, points to a former work process. This offers two distinct historical perspectives: the design of the farmhouse and the transport of sacks of flour.

Countryside and Hiking

The peat reclamation areas between Terschuur and Zwartebroek consist of narrow plots interspersed with tree belts, rectangular woodland plots and waterways. This gives the landscape a fine-grained structure.

The Klompenpad Terbroeksepad is an 11-kilometre hiking route through the countryside around Terschuur and Zwartebroek. Its length provides a concrete basis for planning your route and makes the hike a distinct option alongside the cultural and historical themes. Route details may change, so check the latest information before making firm plans.

Another Activity

The Happy Hopper at De HappyFarm was designed by the farm itself. As individual facilities may change, check the latest information when planning your visit.

When planning your day, the museum demonstrations and the Terbroeksepad stand out as particularly different options: the museum times may vary, while the hiking route is 11 kilometres long. This lets you compare a cultural activity whose timings need to be checked with a hike that has a set route length.
