The iconic Dutch windmills come in different types. Once they were more than 10.000. Nowadays about a good one thousand are still turning their wings.
Only a small part was used for grinding wheat. More than one third were water pumps, essential to keep dry feet in this country. And the rest, the majority, were industrial mills. Used for whatever purpose you need an engine for. tulip and country mansions bike tour image There are many different routes and cycling distances (starting from 25 km).
