Nieuwe Waterweg Cycling Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Along the Nieuwe Waterweg there is a coming and going of impressive ships that you can watch for hours. This waterway was opened in 1872. Due to the open connection with the sea, it immediately posed a risk of flooding.

According to calculations, raised dikes proved to be insufficient. That is why the gigantic Maeslantkering was completed in 1997, recognizable by the enormous, white hinged arms that together in length are not inferior to the Eiffel Tower.

View of the Maeslant Barrier

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Keringhuis of De Maeslantkering is a delta work that offers protection against high water. The Delta Works can handle a tidal wave of five meters. On top of the nearby hill, you have a beautiful view of the Waterweg, Rotterdam Harbor, North Sea and Hoek van Holland.

Molen Aeolus

Highlight • Monument

The corn mill on the Kortedijk is already mentioned in a privilege that Count Willem van Holland gave to the city of Vlaardingen on 23 August 1407. In 1954 the mill was sold to the Municipality of Vlaardingen, which had it restored. On that occasion the mill was named "Aeolus" (Aeolus is the name of the God of the wind).
After the restoration, the mill was leased as sales and storage space to "Samenwerking", now the Cooperative Association "Maasmond".
Since April 1, 1977, there has been a split. Maasmond continued to keep its sales in the warehouse and the mill is from that time back into full operation by the Niek Boekestijn family from Maasland and after the blades were replaced in 1977, the mill is running at full speed again every day to grind the grain for the warm bakers.
Currently there is a mill shop where flour and bread mixes can be bought.
