This museum is well designed within the restrictions of the building and its former owner. There is a lift to help people get up and down, as well as a handy little booklet in a range of languages for information.

It is a 300-years old windmill, which had been restored about 7 years ago. You can go on the "balcony" for 1 euro. On the groundfloor you can purchase the cookies, flour and nice souvenirs. The personnel was very kind and friendly. While going up to the top, you will meet nice workers who are ready to tell you anything they know about this windmill. The view on Maas and Dordrecht from the balcony is breathtaking!

Part of the Biesbosch National Park, the Biesbosch De Elzen is a play forest intended for children from 6 to 12. Here they can climb trees (de elzen, the alders), sail rafts, play haide and seek and invent stories in the storytelling circle. Although a massive children's playground, there are scenic walks for adults (and dogs on a lead) where you can just lose yourself in the beauty and peace of nature.
