Had to wait for an opportune moment. Took around 20 min in total, but it’s all very cute

The company has a new owner and is now called Maashoeve.

It is very likely that a polder mill stood here before 1637. Over the centuries, the mill has been replaced several times, but it has always been indispensable for regulating the water level of the Sint Anthoniepolder.

A scenic route along the Binnenmaas in the Hoeksche Waard, with calm waters, green meadows and characteristic farms. This path offers plenty of opportunity to cycle and enjoy the rural South Holland landscape, with beautiful views of the Binnenmaas and plenty of nature around you.

A large tunnel under the Oude Maas (branch of the Rhine) takes cars from the A29 to the other side of the river. A second, separate, huge tunnel is ONLY for cyclists/two-wheelers and pedestrians. Escalators and a large elevator allow you to get in and out of the tunnel safely. Absolutely fantastic and hard to imagine in Germany...

There is nothing nicer than a little pause along a bike tour where you can see ships, old ships, houseboats, just like here... Stop, enjoy the peace and quiet and the view—that's what makes a bike ✅🚲—tour so special👍👍🚲🚲

Windmills always have a special charm and an incredible attraction and if you can also visit them, it doesn't get any better than that... Always worth a rest, a break as at least on weekends there is coffee and cake in the small café

In the flat, watery landscape of the Netherlands stands a type of mill that has played a crucial role in the survival and prosperity of the country throughout the centuries: the polder mill. These special mills are a testament to the age-old battle against the water, a battle that has shaped the character and technical ingenuity of the Dutch people. In a country where much of the land lies below sea level, the conclusion to develop an efficient water management system quickly emerged. The polder mills were born from this solution, a brilliant invention that makes it possible to pump water from the lower polders and move it to higher rivers and canals. The architecture of these polder mills is a fascinating spectacle, each carefully designed to efficiently catch the wind and move the water with minimal effort. The beauty and technical precision with which these mills were built attracted many admirers and tourists every year. The graceful silhouettes against the open Dutch skies tell stories of a time when the rhythm of the mill sails determined the rhythm of life. The polder mills are not only functional wonders but also timeless monuments of Dutch heritage. They testify to the ingenuity and determination of a people who essentially surrendered to the elements. Instead, they transformed the watery landscapes into fertile polders, which formed the foundation for the well-being community that the Netherlands is today. Today, the polder mills stand as a reminder of the historical importance and technical ingenuity of Dutch water management. Visitors who stroll along the tranquil waterways, with the mills rising gracefully above the horizon, are treated to a vivid image of the past. One that honors the timeless dialogue between land, water, and people in the Netherlands. The polder mills are an essential chapter in the story of the Netherlands, a story of surviving, adapting, and ultimately, thriving in harmony with nature.
