Boezemmolen No. 6 is a windmill in Haastrecht in the Dutch province of Zuid-Holland. It is a round stone mill with a pronounced bell shape. With a flight of more than thirty meters, this is the mill with the largest flight in the Netherlands. It's the last of the original seven mills that kept things dry along the Vlist.
In the Hooge Boezem of the Zuid-Hollands Landschap, water is buffered during heavy rainfall. This is how they keep their feet dry in Haastrecht. The bosom is behind the mill. It is the intention that the mill will soon grind a part full again to show how this used to go. No problem for water birds and meadow birds, as long as this happens outside the breeding season. You can see all the famous meadow birds here. The cycle path leads through this beautiful, wide peat bog area.
