Hiking

The Dutch windmill, also known locally as a cap windmill (in the Netherlands generally called bovenkruier, top-slewing, i.e. with a rotating hood or cap), is the most modern development of the classic windmill. In the 16th century, this type of windmill displaced the post mills built before, especially in the Netherlands and northern Germany. While Dutch windmills were mainly used as grain mills in the rest of Europe, in the Netherlands they were mainly used as wind pumps to drain the polders.
