Kinderdijk Blue Hour-5 - a photo on Flickriver

            The village of Kinderdijk is surrounded by a nature landscape called the ‘Groene Hart’ (Green Hart): an oasis of peace and quiet right in the middle of Holland’s very busy conurbation ‘De Randstad’, of which Rotterdam is part. During a day trip to Kinderdijk, you will meet Holland below sea level… 
A visit to Kinderdijk gives you the extraordinary opportunity to visit a UNESCO World Heritage in Holland. In 1997, the windmill complex of Kinderdijk was added to the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique character. UNESCO considers the polder area with its dykes, boezems, mills and pumping stations to be proof of human inventiveness in reclaiming and protecting the land.  
The gorgeous windmills of Kinderdijk are part of a unique phenomenon. Nowhere else in the world can you find the complete history of water management at a single location. The windmills and pumping stations drain the excess water from the Alblasserwaard into the river Lek via the Elshout sluices. Subsequently, the river discharges the water into the sea.
