The Dikke Molen (Fat Mill) was built in 1674, making it over 350 years old! It's a so-called ground-sailer; its sails graze the ground. Previously, the mill drained the Zuid- and Noordeinderpolder. Today, the mill is privately owned and can be visited by appointment.

Pietje Potlood to be precise

Along the route, you'll encounter a wide variety of polder windmills. These windmills were designed to pump water from low-lying areas and thus keep the land dry. The vast majority of the mills around the Kagerplassen lakes are characteristic hollow post mills with a cube-shaped upper house.

Short crossing with great views

Beautiful mill, on summer days there are also people with small boats using the small lock at the mill. There is a bench nearby, a view over the water.

A beautiful passage from Mije to Nieuwkoop v.v. along the lakes through the green. For walkers there are, on certain parts, separate walking lanes along the lakes. The meadow is inhabited by sheep. Please note that the concrete path can be dirty from sheep droppings and pee.
