Bike path along the Westeinder Plassen

Beautiful road and bike path straight along the lake (Plassen). In summer nice views on the boats and the birds. Very good asphalt, easy rolling. Traffic even on nice summer days not a problem.

Windmill - Spotting

Highlight • Monument

Most, if not all windmills that stand on a dyke are water pumping windmills using either a scooping wheel or an infinite screw. They are still used today to keep the polders dry. They may even be part of a system with several dykes where the water is pumped to the next dyke and so on, until the water is high enough to be used or disposed off in the sea.

Lijkermolen on Poeldijk

Highlight • Monument

A characteristic polder mill along the Poeldijk, built for the water management of the surrounding polders. The Lijkermolen, surrounded by meadows and ditches, offers a beautiful example of Dutch heritage and is an atmospheric stop during a bike ride.

Lijkermolen

Highlight • Monument

Along the route, you'll encounter a wide variety of polder windmills. These windmills were designed to pump water from low-lying areas and thus keep the land dry. The vast majority of the mills around the Kagerplassen lakes are characteristic hollow post mills with a cube-shaped upper house.
