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.

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.

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.

This is a beautiful area with a very good path. But you have to leave the main road that goes through the center of the village (Roeloarendsveen)

What if you are tired of cycling then it is said that sailing is a sport that you should try.

THE SAILING CENTER

Sailing center “de Wijde Aa” is housed in a still running windmill; located in the middle of a green polder on “de Wijde Aa”, a branch of the Braassem. Since its founding in 1958, we have been making young people enthusiastic about sailing and have given them an unforgettable holiday week. That was and still is our goal. We are also affiliated with the CWO (Water Sports Training Committee), which means that we can issue nationally recognized sailing diplomas.
