Kinderdijk
| Legend has it that during a
flood a baby (hence the name) in a cradle floated ashore here while being
kept in balance by a cat to prevent it from toppling over |

 |
| The windmills (more than nineteen of them !) are used to pump water from the
low marsh lands, into narrow canals , and finally out into the river Lek |
