Tourists visit the town of Kinderdijk because it is home to a UNESCO World Heritage site where 19 traditional windmills are displayed for the public. Kinderdijk is a must-visit if you are going to the Netherlands. The town is also the location of the story of a legend where a wave washed ashore with a cradle holding a sleeping baby. The local farmers decided to build windmills with the ability to pump the water and dump it back into the river when the levels were lower. Nowadays the windmills are modernised but still function in a similar matter, and this is a major attraction for tourists. The variety and multitude of activities at Kinderdijk can explain the price of the paid experience, which includes walking through the museum mills, a floating exhibition, a boat trip, and more.

The village of Kinderdijk Kinderdijk is the name of the UNESCO World Heritage site and its windmills, but it is also the name of the adjoining village. Step inside the local traditional bakery, visit the old church that has always served as the beating heart of the village, or gaze at the enormous shipyard that has become central to modern-day Kinderdijk life. An intriguing detail of Kinderdijk history: the village had the first electric power plant of the Netherlands, so in addition to the pumps, the street lights of Kinderdijk were very early to run on electric power! Of course, Grand Café De Klok with its bike rental and Grand Café Buena Vista are great places to get a taste of the local atmosphere, because the village of Kinderdijk has more to offer than windmills alone!

Kinderdijk is an UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the system of windmills and their pumping stations has kept the soil dry for nearly a thousand years. It was the highlight of my Netherlands trip and a great way to finish before a new country. The best way to explore the Kinderdijk windmills was with my bicycle of course.

Toeristen bezoeken Kinderdijk omdat de 19 prachtige molens er deel uitmaken van een groter watersysteem om overstromingen te voorkomen. De molens van Kinderdijk zijn gebouwd om het lage land van de Alblasserwaard droog te houden. Als je de geschiedenis van Nederlandse windmolens en waterwegen wilt kennen, is Kinderdijk een absolute must. Toeristen kunnen er veel waterwegen, dijken, molens en sluizen bewonderen.
