Rotterdam to Kinderdijk by bike

20.9 km

From the Erasmus Bridge the route leaves the city along the Maas and the Kralingse Plas lake, then follows the dykes to Ridderkerk. There a ferry takes you across the river to Kinderdijk and its nineteen eighteenth-century windmills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The path past the mills is free; the museum and the mills you can go inside charge for entry. Check the ferry times before you go, and consider the waterbus back to Rotterdam.
