Kinderdijk Windmill Route

The Kinderdijk Windmill Route is the definitive water-management tour, with 19 UNESCO-listed windmills along a 25-kilometer loop that is 15% shorter than the Amstel River Route but equally historic. Built in the 1740s, these windmills drain 3,000 hectares of polder, a feat 50% more efficient than modern electric pumps of the 1970s.
