Fun, relaxation, & culture

There is so much to see and do here

The Dutch have managed to hold back the water for more than 750 years. At Kinderdijk, you can learn how we have managed to live under sea level for centuries. You can take a boat trip and sail past gigantic windmills, meet the millers, and have a look around inside the windmills. Here, you can learn about the past and present of water management.
