In the old cultural landscape of the Hoekse Waard you will experience an almost old-fashioned tranquility. The route starts in Maasdam. On the rippling water you will see De Hoop, a corn mill from 1822. Further on is the St. Antony mill, a polder mill from 1749. The somewhat higher Sint Anthoniepolder is the only polder in the Hoeksche Waard that did not fall during the infamous Sint-Elizabeth flood of 1421. flooded. Partly for this reason, there is a Romanesque church from 1357 on the dike. In Westmaas you can hardly miss the Windlust: this white mill dates from 1853 and is used for grinding grain.

The most famous windmill type in the Netherlands. Windmills were not only used to produce flour from cereals, but also for draining polder areas. Natural energy. The most famous windmills can be found in Kinderdijk, which have truly been set up as a polder model. A must see!
