Kinderdijk is probably the most typical sight of The Netherlands. It is a collection of windmills, in the middle of an area with canals and green meadows with grazing cows.
Less than 20 kilometres from Rotterdam lies perhaps the most typical sight of Holland. It is an area where original windmills have been preserved, with canals criss-crossing the landscape, and the green meadows in between are dotted with cows. The Netherlands consists for around a quarter of reclaimed land, that is, land lying below sea level. Reclaimed land is called polders. At Kinderdijk, the visitor can admire the windmills that made this reclamation possible already centuries ago, and also understand how polders were actually made.
