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.
Although water still needs to be managed in Holland and water needs to be disposed of regularly, the windmills have largely lost their former function, also in the Kinderdijk area. Enormous mechanical pumps have taken over their task, although in case of emergency it is still possible to use the windmills. One of the mills can actually be visited and it allows the visitor a good view on the functioning of a windmill. Through the small windows, it also gives a beautiful view over the whole area.
