Hi everyone!

After a well-deserved summer hiatus, we're back! Now that the weather is turning properly Dutch again (read: rainy and cold), it's the perfect time to revive our Amsterdam city walks—and this time, we're on a quest to find the city's legendary wooden houses.​

P.S. bring your friends and your crazy neighbor!

**The Quest:**
Did you know only two wooden houses survive in Amsterdam's city center? After devastating fires in the 15th century, Emperor Charles V banned wooden buildings in 1521, making these rare survivors true relics of medieval Amsterdam. We're going on a treasure hunt to find them both!​

**Plan:**
We'll meet in front of Loetje at Centraal Station (Stationsplein 10, right across from the main station entrance).​

From there, we'll walk through the historic old city, hunting for our wooden houses. During our quest, we'll duck into a warm café for a beer, coffee, or hot chocolate to chase away the chill.​

**Details:**
Meeting point: In front of Loetje at Centraal Station (Stationsplein 10)
Time: 14:30

We'll share our live location.​

Dress warmly—Amsterdam winter walks build character, and wooden house hunting builds knowledge!​
