Bridge over the river Lek in Culemborg, Gelderland (Netherlands)

 
Where the beeches are broad crowns

Our cool bore shadow; 
Where we have green pine forests, 
See purple heather fields; 
Where the blonde rye breeder 
And the brook attracts our eye, 
There's our pale old, 
Costly part of Gelre's place.

Anthem of Gelderland

Bridge over the Lek Canal in Kinderdijk (Netherlands)


The Kinderdijk-Elshout mill network is an outstanding man-made landscape that bears powerful testimony to human ingenuity and fortitude over a millennium in draining and protecting an area by the development and application of hydraulic technology.
