A clever example of water management is being done in the Kinderdijk mill complex. The 19 mills were once built to pump water up from the low-lying polder. The complex is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

De Hoop Grain Mill, Oud-Alblas

Highlight • Monument

The windmill "De Hoop" has been in Oud-Alblas since 1844. In contrast to many other mills in the Netherlands, this is not a wind pump, but a flour mill. The mill has been owned by the De Groot family for five generations and is in regular use. Every week, around 500 kilograms of wheat are ground into flour, which you can then buy at the store at the bottom of the mill. In addition, you can also visit the well-preserved structure.

The mill is open on Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.

August 5, 2024,Kinderdijk (Mühlentour)

Today we rode our bikes to the mills (Kinderdijk) in "Lekkerland and Ottoland". We had to struggle with the wind on the dike at first, but were then rewarded by the many windmills. A dream route, always discovering something new. In Kinderdijk, of course, it was a real hustle and bustle. As always, when there is a hot spot, the …
