The highest windmills in the world! @ The Netherlands

in #travel7 years ago

Did you know the highest windmills in the world can be found in the city of Schiedam in The Netherlands. These are real big ones with a length of about 44 meters.

There are 5 giant windmills standing in Schiedam, each of them have their own great story and history. The highest one is called "De Noletmolen"

When it comes to windmills, you can easily find them anywhere in the country, but these 5 are really the biggest ones around.

There used to be many, many more windmills everywhere, they broke down a lot of them. Just take a look of this picture from Schiedam in the 1800's.

What a coincidence, I just posted the Windmills @ Kinderdijk. Wish we had time to go to Schiedam. Next time

Kinderdijk is beautiful!

Upped and resteemed!
