De Olmenhorst is one of the best organic orchards for apples and October is the right time to visit. We meet at the Apple Caf� for coffee and apple pie and afterwards, we begin our guided tour explaining the history of the farm and its varied fruit crops.
After lunch you may pick your own apples.
For the shopper, the Landgoed General Store offers an array of interesting products, as do the pottery, home accessory and children shops.

Guided tour of the Cezanne - Picasso - Mondrian exhibition in the Gemeente Museum
Wednesday 28th October 2009
Picasso picked up where C�zanne left off. Mondrian then went on to take a revolutionary step towards abstraction, based on the work of these predecessors, as will be revealed in the extraordinary exhibition C�zanne - Picasso - Mondrian. Unlike his impressionist contemporaries, C�zanne took as his basis the geometric essence of natural forms (cone, sphere and cylinder). In this and other ways he laid the foundations on which Picasso built further. The exhibition will also show that both Picasso and C�zanne were highly important factors in Mondrian's development. The evolution from impressionism, via cubism, to abstraction - the creation of the foundations of modernism - will be visible in C�zanne - Picasso - Mondrian as never before.
