These two windmills on the Kralingse Plas provide a typical Dutch picture, close to the city. De Lelie dates from 1777 and De Ster accompanied it 52 years later (in 1829). De Lelie as it now stands in front of you is the original mill, while De Ster is fire and has been rebuilt twice.

In the past there were dozens of mills in Rotterdam. There are still 7 left, of which these two are at the Kralingse Plas.

Today I walked the entire route: "As old as the road to Kralingen".
36.5km of enjoyment! I passed by here.
