The De Rietvink windmill, built in 1855 on the Grote Veenpolder, was fitted with an American windmill in 1921 to keep the area dry. After being decommissioned in 1964, it became a holiday home. Around 2005, the windmill fell into disrepair, but new owners began a thorough restoration in 2008 with the help of millwrights and volunteers. In 2010, De Rietvink turned again for the first time in 16 years and has been in regular operation ever since. Next to the windmill is a charming tea garden with a terrace for a refreshing drink in the sun!

A great route through the countryside. Strong winds are to be expected, though.

The Giethoornsche Meer is a picturesque body of water near the famous village of Giethoorn, known for its canals and bridges. The area is surrounded by vast nature and marshlands.

Beautiful surroundings. Of course lots of water, bridges and greenery. And the peace that emanates from this region is great.

Walking in Weerribben-Wieden offers a unique experience thanks to the extensive reed fields, waterways and peatlands. This largest peat bog in northwest Europe is home to diverse flora and fauna. Discover picturesque villages such as Giethoorn and Ossenzijl while walking over well-maintained paths and bridges.

Feast your eyes and admire all the small boats in this picturesque harbor of Giethoorn.

Around the Old Port you will discover monumental buildings and an enormous church. In the center there are stately houses built by the nobility from the 15th century onwards. Nowadays there are recreational yachts in the harbour, which used to be fishing boats. For centuries, the port opened directly into the Zuiderzee, but after the construction of the Afsluitdijk, the salty sea changed into the fresh IJsselmeer. Just as drastic was the reclamation of the Noordoostpolder directly on the other side of the harbour.

Fantastic scenery
