Highlights
- Merenwijk - During this walking tour, we don’ forget to visit couple of old windmills from outside, which were used to pump water to reclaim land. Some of those are the Broekdijk windmill and the Boterhuis Windmill. The work of the windmills made sure that the Holland was not flooded with sea water. This old technique can be learned very simply once you see how a windmill works. Also we pass a golf course where natural beauty is abundantly to be seen.

Walking tour of the polder land - Pj is an affable and informative guide who knows the land and its history quite well. The land we walked was quite scenic, and I came away with a full understanding of how the polders came about and their importance today. The break for a cup of tea as well timed also. Recommend!

Nice instrustive stroll - We had a very pleasant walk in the good company of our guide PJ. We walked along a river, saw a mill and a farm. We had explanations about the Netherlands and our environment (the polders and others). In conclusion, a soothing and instructive walk.

Lovely morning walk - Very nice walk outside if the city proper. With Punartha as my guide, it was great to get a sense of the local landscape and neighborhoods. Lovely river and windmill views completed the scene. Thanks Punartha!

An Amazing Lake Side Walk - It was an amazing walk in the evening with the amazing guide Punartha who was very friendly and gave us lot of explanations.
This serene pathway invites visitors to embark on a journey of tranquility, where the soothing sounds of lapping water and the gentle rustling of leaves create a symphony of serenity. Once again thanks to Punartha who took on beautiful evening walk where is has so much history.
