Before we went to our neighbors in Holland, we wanted to take a look at Leer.
We were able to park on the Womo parking space on the edge of the port.
We really liked the winding streets and a cozy promenade towards the water.

Via Groningen and Leeuwarden we ended up in Harlingen and got a nice place at the campsite "de Zeehoeve". Highly recommended, clean, large pitches and you're on the dike in no time.

The following day we went over the dam of the IJsselmeer to Anna Paulowna. The place is said to be one of the best spots for tulip blooms in North Holland and afterwards we knew why.
You can't imagine the splendor more beautiful.
Particularly noteworthy is the "Poldertuin", a huge garden full of tulips and other plants.

The Kinderdijk campsite in Alblasserdam is our domicile for the last night in the Netherlands. A very new and clean place. Ideal for visiting the world heritage site of the Kinderdijk windmills.

We cycled from the parking space through the town and meadows to the mills.
19 windmills, built around 1740, are located here as part of an extensive water management system to prevent flooding. Today they are the symbol of water management in Holland and were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1997.
