The well-preserved windmills are worth a visit.

The first 2 years of my life I lived opposite this forest. I can't remember anything about it but it does create a bond. My grandmother, where we lived at the time (shortage of housing is everyday) sometimes told that her father secretly went chopping wood during the war. That was of course extremely dangerous. Despite the logging during the war, the forest has dried out considerably and in some places is a beautiful rich forest.

The Broekpolder was once a peat meadow polder with a number of dairy farmers. The word 'broek' (brouck) refers to the original peat bog at this location. Vlaardingen was a growing city in the 1950s and there were plans to make housing possible in the Broekpolder. To achieve this, the area first had to be raised. This was done between 1958 and 1976 with dredged material. Later, this soil layer turned out to be too polluted to be able to realize a residential area here. Housing construction was therefore off the table. The area was then given a green design. It was partly planted with production forest and for another part nature did its own work. The polder was thus given a new life as a nature and recreation area.

The Broekpolder is a beautiful 400 ha. large and green nature and recreation area. You can walk, cycle, mountain bike, skate, play and do sports here. Close to the city of Vlaardingen and surrounded by the water of the Vlaardingse Vaart and the Vlieten, it is a very valuable green spot for residents in the region. The Broekpolder offers a diverse landscape of polder, forest and large lakes where many water birds live and winter. The Broekpolder is also the habitat of a large herd of Scottish Highlanders. In addition, there are more than 30 sports clubs for young and old. The four Vlaardingen scouting groups have also been given a new joint home in the Broekpolder.

2 windmills next to the Kralingse plas

Nice piece of forest for both walking and cycling

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