Rotterdam Water Bus to Dordrecht

Video of a trip from Rotterdam to Dordrecht, one of Holland's great historic cities by waterbus which provides a public transport link in the densely populated greater Rotterdam Rijnmond area where many of Holland's big rivers meet. The trip takes an hour in real time and allows for front row views of Rotterdam's stunning new architecture, the beautiful polder landscape (it passes close to the UNESCO heritage site of Kinderdijk) and the thriving industrial activities on the river banks. Last but not least the arrival at Dordrecht by water provides one of the great classic vistas of a Dutch riverside city. Filmed on an iPhone 4. Enjoy....

Kinderdijk-Niederlande 19 Windmolen - 19 Windmühlen- Netherland 19 windmills

19 windmolen 19 Windmühlen
Kinderdijk ist ein kleiner Ort in den Niederlanden, der etwa 15 Kilometer südöstlich von Rotterdam in der Provinz Südholland liegt. Der Ort gehört zur Gemeinde Molenwaard auf der Niederung Alblasserwaard und liegt auf dem Polder Nederwaard. Im Nordwesten fließen die Flüsse Lek und Noord, die den Ort von zwei Seiten einschließen, zur Nieuwen Maas zusammen. Bekannt ist der Ort für seine Mühlen, die 1997 in die UNESCO-Liste des Welterbes aufgenommen wurden.
Der Name „Kinderdijk (Kinderdeich) erklärt sich laut einer Legende folgendermaßen: Bei der Elisabethenflut 1421 soll eine Wiege mit einem weinenden Kind und einer Katze unversehrt auf den Deich gespült worden sein. Eine andere Legende besagt hingegen, dass der Deich durch Kinderarbeit entstanden sein soll.
De molens van Kinderdijk betreffen negentien molens in het noordwesten van de Alblasserwaard, een streek in de provincie Zuid-Holland. Alhoewel ze worden aangeduid als behorend tot het dorpje Kinderdijk (gemeente Molenwaard) ligt één molen net daarbuiten (De Blokker), in de gemeente Alblasserdam. Het gaat om poldermolens, die een molengang vormen en een grote (ook internationale) toeristische trekpleister zijn. Alle negentien molens van het complex zijn eigendom van de Stichting Werelderfgoed Kinderdijk. Sinds 1997 staan ze op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO en het gebied is tevens een beschermd dorpsgezicht. De molenrijen zijn slechts te voet of per fiets goed te bezichtigen. Eén van de molens, vrij dicht bij het bebouwde gedeelte van Kinderdijk, is ook van binnen te bezichtigen (in de winterperiode alleen in het weekend).

De molens bij Kinderdijk zijn gebouwd vanaf het einde van de veertiende eeuw, maar de overblijvende molens dateren uit 1738 en 1740.
