Following the workings from outside
The visible scoop wheel is a concrete starting point for asking about moving water. See how it relates to the rest of the mill. The miller or the explanation can help you connect movement and function.
The yard tells a story too
The yard focuses on life around the mill. A children’s trail gives young visitors their own way of looking. As a result, the visit is not only about a technical machine, but also about the surroundings in which people worked and lived.
Time for the route
Blokweer is some distance from the main entrance of Kinderdijk. Allow for the walk or check the current boat option. The ticket schedule changes with the season and does not automatically mean that every part of the programme is available at every moment.
Before you go
Check the Kinderdijk ticket, seasonal hours and the route to Blokweer before you set off.
