Out and about in Zuid-Holland
The province of Zuid-Holland is full of water, green meadows and tiny, ancient towns. Once you leave Kinderdijk, you find yourself in the Alblasserwaard, a rural area of small lakes, polder landscapes and historic villages. Bustling towns and cities are only a stone’s throw away, but you don’t need to travel far to find the peace and quiet of the wide-open countryside.
Bike, walk or sail through charming scenery
Kinderdijk’s surrounding area will appeal to your sense of curiosity, so get on your bike and cycle over meandering dikes, through pretty polders and small farming villages. But if exploration on foot is more your line, you’ll find walking routes that cross the Alblasserwaard region and follow its waterways. Or you can take to the water and sail over the Lek River to see Kinderdijk and the surrounding countryside from another angle. The quiet, open nature of this region makes it ideal for getting out and about under your own steam.
