Route · 1–3 h · The flat polder paths between the two rows of windmills and the dykes of the Alblasserwaard. Bike hire near the entrance.

The Kinderdijk site is a flat polder crossed by paths beside the canals, and on foot or by bike you see the two rows of windmills at your own pace, away from the boat queues. Beyond, the Alblasserwaard is a countryside of dykes, lagoons and small villages, perfect for cycling without hills.
Bikes and routes
Bikes are not hired out on the site, but are next to the entrance, at Tourist Information Kinderdijk (Molenstraat 232), and at Café De Klok (Molenstraat 117, 500 metres away). If you come from Rotterdam on the WaterShuttle, the bike goes free. There is bike parking at the visitor centre.
