Si tratta un luogo unico al mondo, con la pi\u00f9 alta concentrazione di mulini; 19 in tutto, costruiti fra il 1521 ed il 1760 allo scopo di pompare via l\u2019acqua dal polder nel quale questo \u201cwaard\u201d (terra bassa circondata da fiumi) era stato trasformato. <\/i><\/p>\n
Il nome (\u201cdiga dei bambini\u201d) \u00e8 legato ad una leggenda popolare secondo la quale durante l\u2019alluvione del 1420, la peggiore nella storia dell\u2019Olanda, qualcuno accorso sul luogo per vedere cosa fosse rimasto da salvare, avvist\u00f2 in lontananza una culla in legno che galleggiava sull\u2019acqua. Mano a mano che l\u2019oggetto si avvicinava, si defin\u00ec la sagoma di un gatto, intento a saltare su e gi\u00f9 lungo il bordo della culla, per tenerla in equilibrio. <\/i><\/p>\n
Quando l\u2019insolita imbarcazione raggiunse finalmente la terra ferma, si scopr\u00ec con non poco stupore che all\u2019interno dormiva, asciutto e tranquillo, un bambino. Kinderdijk \u00e8 sito UNESCO dal 1997.<\/i><\/p>\n
