Kinderdijk

Kinderdijk is a village in the the Netherlands' South Holland province, known for its iconic 18th-century windmills. Its water-management network features 19 mills and 3 pumping stations, plus dikes and reservoirs that control flooding in the polder (low-lying land).
I never knew of this jewel until we visited it. I was assuming it would not be much different from Zanse Schaans, but it was . The wind mills and its features were the same, but the view of the 19 mills along the stream with a gloomy back ground made it worth the visit.
We can either walk the path or bicycle or take the ferry that comes across the stream. Walk is the best way as far as I saw. There are plenty of ducks in the stream for kids to enjoy. Its worth visiting one wind mill and understanding the concepts.
At the end, there is a cinema shown on the way Kinderdijk came into existence and a good way to end the day.
