And no visit to Harties is complete without a visit to Die Windmeul Wafelhuis. You can enjoy both savoury and sweet waffles here! We highly suggest the Hot Dutch Apple Waffle if you’re looking for something sweet.

These golden morsels are available in various flavours, such as Smores and Biscuits, White Chocolate and Oreo and Cinnamon Sugar and Syrup. But our favourite is the Nutella Bar One and Banana Waffle.
