Kinderdijk, Netherlands Cruises

When cruising to Kinderdijk, Netherlands expect to be amazed by the windmill system that allows the area to be in existence today. The village resides in a small area in Southern Holland, where a series of windmills and dikes are needed to maintain the town. Without the windmills, the town that is 20 feet below sea level would have been flooded many years ago. The windmills can be seen from afar or at a museum where you can learn a little more about their history on your cruise to Kinderdijk, Netherlands. Large brick drainage mills that were built in the 1700’s, 19 of them all together, are what make Kinderdijk the town with the largest amount and most historic as well. The town of Kinderdijk is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the windmills can actually be viewed from the inside.
