Description
The West Friesland region lives up to the name 'Netherlands waterland'. Ditches, canals, bridges and dikes, you will find it all here. In this centuries-old low polder landscape, many pieces of land have been reclaimed from the water through drainage and drainage. The view of the parceled fields on this route is wonderfully relaxing.
Countless polder mills

All these mills used to drain polders in this area.
