After this, we will continue and show you another UNESCO World Heritage site, a typical Dutch polder called "the Beemster" wich was the first ever reclaimed polder in the country. During a stroll over the ring dyke you have a perfect view of the extraordinary structure of the polder and the enormous difference in water level with the surrounding area. You learn why the windmills were built and see how they work plus you enter a working 17th century windmill for a tour of its mechanisms and living quarters.

We will drive through typical 17th century polder villages, like Midden Beemster, the Rijp and Graft and stroll through the cozy historic centers. Walk across old draw bridges and pass a lock that saved the town from flooding.

During the tour you will learn a lot about the interesting history of the Netherlands and that of Europe. Who influenced who, and which country was in charge.

In the countryside you really can experience how the people in the Netherlands (and Europe) lived in the 17th century. We feel great admiration for our past generation who needed work to survive, and did not have the choices and wealth like we experience today.
