An almost fairytale experience - We were very lucky, the weather was gracious and the guide was able to involve us in a tour that took us back a bit to the world of fairy tales. The village is really nice and well worth a visit.

Lots of wind, little event - We received little explanation. There were radio lines, which we - though - we didn't get it. We felt "left" to ourselves. I believe, however, that a tour is the only option to see windmills!
