One of very few places on earth that could make you feel like you're in a dream. Just take a stroll down there on a good weather day to see what I mean.

Artyom Fedosov

Below sea level. Why it's not covered by water? That, detective, is the right question.

Nuray Çanga

Don't skip if you visit Holland . It is full of history and nature. Two windmills have admission options as museums , get ticket for both and breath their history.

One of very few places that makes you feel like you're in a dream! Just take a tour down there walking or by boat to see what I mean.

The outstanding contribution made by the people of the Netherlands to the technology of handling water is admirably demonstrated by the installations in the Kinderdijk-Elshout area.

You don't have to buy a ticket at the first counter, just walk and get a ticket if you want to visit one of the museum mills .

Nazli Deniz Sariyildiz

amazing view . no need to buy a ticket for a walk, only for boats. do not pay for parking (7,5 eur!!). just park close to the area on the street.

The 19 windmills here were used for pumping water out of the land. In other areas they were also used to grind grain with windpower.

Bojana Milosevic

Great experience. First you can see the movie a put windmills history and then go to the museum .

Park your car at Molenkade for a less touristic route and walk to the bridge for the best shot over the water with the windmills
