During our unique Windmill Cruise experience, you will witness the rich history of the Kagerplassen, surrounded by lush green nature, rippling water, and... many windmills. As the sails of the authentic windmills gracefully turn, it seems as if time stands still. The enchanting atmosphere of the water and the centuries-old mills create an unforgettable journey back in time.

Admire the many working windmills during our 1-hour Windmill Cruise. They are important for draining the polders, which can be as low as 5 meters below sea level.
