This nature area in the south near Rotterdam, has a unique complex of 19 windmills and pumping stations to keep the low country dry, which you won’t find anywhere else in the world and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The windmills were built in the 18th century and are still in use today. The village is a popular tourist destination, offering boat tours, a museum, and a variety of activities.

You can sail past the windmills by buying an entrance ticket online in advance. But since this is an open nature area it’s also possible to explore Kinderdijk on foot or by bike free of charge.
