Broken windmill

This place is called 't Otterbos, 2016. It is a place of wet lands just outside the dike of polder De Wijde Wormer at a location almost hardly to reach. If you know the start of the dead end road, than you will find it by car.

 

This type of little wooden (or steel) windmills were used for removing rainwater on the surrounding wet lands into a water course situated at higher level. Now electrical pumps are common.

 

Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments.
