“On the day I visited, this windmill was spinning and I’ve read that this windmill is often allowed to spin for tourists. It was impressive to see how fast the sails can spin in the wind and how close they are to touching the ground. You can imagine how dangerous it might be if you weren’t paying attention and got slammed into by a sail!”
