Take a nice walk at the windmills of the Aarlanderveense molenviergang. Along the mills and the water a beautiful walking route has been set out through the Dutch polder landscape. You can choose between a northern walking route of about 3 km and a southern walking route of about 6 km. Every mill is plagued by fire and has its own story. The 4 mills are among the only mills in the world that still work in series. Few people are aware of the history of the polder and the windmills. Via information boards along the route you will learn everything about the mills and the origin of the polder. Parking is possible near Kerkvaartseweg 63 in Aarlanderveen.
