Zuidplaspolder route

The Rottemeren is a unique and versatile recreational area. The area offers many opportunities for cycling, walking, canoeing, picnicking, horseback riding or discovering nature.

You can start the Zuidplaspolder route from the TOP Rottemeren. The Zuidplaspolder was the last polder, located between Rotterdam-Nesselande, Zevenhuizen, Moerkapelle, Waddinxveen, Gouda, Moordrecht and Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, which was emptied with windmills.
Large peat lakes lay between the Rotte and the Hollandse IJssel that threatened the villages of Waddinxveen, Moerkapelle, Moordrecht and Nieuwerkerk. The absolute lowest point in the Netherlands is in the Zuidplaspolder (-6.76 m NAP).
Mill four corridor Zevenhuizen.

The unique molenviergang in the Tweemanspolder, north of Zevenhuizen,
is the only working windmill in the world. Since 1727, these windmills have kept the polder dry. The mills can be admired from the mill path along the mills. There are no visiting opportunities. The mills run twice a month, on Saturdays.
