When you take a walk on the dike, you can also walk through this area to avoid cyclists and motorists. There is no path to follow so make sure you have good shoes.
You can get in and out on both sides at the beginning.

Poldersche Mill

Highlight • Monument

It is very likely that a polder mill stood here before 1637. Over the centuries, the mill has been replaced several times, but it has always been indispensable for regulating the water level of the Sint Anthoniepolder.

De Hoop Corn Mill Maasdam

Highlight • Monument

In the picturesque village of Maasdam, located in the municipality of Hoeksche Waard in South Holland, there is a beautiful piece of history in the form of Molen de Hoop. This historic windmill has towered over the landscape since 1830, a silent witness to the changing times.

Like a ground sailor, Molen de Hoop offers a fascinating spectacle, where the blades almost touch the ground and can be controlled from the earth. The mill originally had the noble task of grinding grain, an essential service at a time when mills were the beating heart of local agricultural businesses.

Over the years, Molen de Hoop has undergone several restorations to maintain its structural integrity and working condition. Each restoration was a loving ode to the historic mill culture of the Netherlands, a culture that has deep roots in the identity of the region.

Visitors lucky enough to visit this enchanting location will be treated to a journey back in time. They can explore the mill and possibly meet the miller who will talk passionately about the techniques and traditions associated with the mill. The serene tranquility of the village of Maasdam, combined with the majestic turning blades of Molen de Hoop, an enchanting tableau that evokes a deep appreciation for the simple, but vital traditions of yesteryear.

The story of Molen de Hoop is not only a story of a functional agricultural heirloom, but also an ode to the timeless tradition and craftsmanship that is the essence of Dutch mill culture. Every turn of the blades, every grain of grain that is milled, tells the story of a community deeply connected to its land and its history.

Very good view over the Binnenmaas. You can make a pit stop here at the picnic table. In summer you can also take a dip in the water here!
