ヘンドリック-イド-アンバハトのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Yes, you can see the windmills here. That's nice, but certainly not the best view.

interesting to visit.

To take truly old-fashioned Dutch photos.

The mills are inhabited and rented out. Tenants must be certified millers and turn the sails 60,000 times a year to keep the mill in top condition. Training to become a miller takes two years.

On nice days, it's laundry day at the Blokweer Mill. Then, snow-white laundry flutters in the breeze on the clothesline, making for a fantastic souvenir photo. Especially when combined with one of the nearby mills, it's a real eye-catcher for your photo album.

Anyone visiting South Holland cannot miss a visit to the windmills of Kinderdijk. Admission to the site is free, but the tour of the windmills is not. You can also see all the sights in one go by purchasing a combination ticket. This also includes a boat trip along the canals. Unlike the windmills of Zannse Schans, the windmills of Kinderdijk have retained their authenticity. They don't appear kitschy or tourist-oriented at all, and they aren't overcrowded. However, you're almost never completely without tourists. A visit in the late afternoon is recommended, as most of the crowds are over by then. Incidentally, there are now a limited number of parking spaces in front of the entrance. The cost is just under €10 per day! There is also a shuttle bus to the nearest village, which costs the same amount, including the parking fee.

The Blokweer Mill is the only mill in Kinderdijk whose exterior is completely different from the others. For me, it's the prettiest of all the mills. Watch out! Right behind it, an old leek barge from 1914 is moored on the shore. Today, it's a "small" museum ship that can be visited.

A wonderful museum that gives you a great insight into the life of a mill family.
