View of the harbour and mill of Wijk bij Duurstede. The corn mill "Rijn en Lek" was built in 1659 as a run mill and is still used for grinding grain. It is a very early example of the round stone upper mill and therefore very unique, being the only mill in the Netherlands built on a city gate. Wijk bij Duurstede is a fortified town and municipality in the south of the Dutch province of Utrecht. The municipality has about 24,000 inhabitants in an area of about 50 km², of which 2.68 km² is water. Through and along Wijk bij Duurstede flow the waterways Nederrijn, Lek, Kromme Rijn and the Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal. Many tourists flock to this medieval town every year to look around and enjoy good food in its many resaurants.
