North of Amsterdam is an area of reclaimed land below sea level (polder) called Waterland. This was reclaimed in the 1300's by building dykes and keeping the water pumped out by windmill power. Its agricultural though only 5 km from the centre of A'dam. i had the most enormous pancake at a gorgeous village in Broek en Waterland (after which Brooklyn in NY is maned) where the houses are the traditional wooden cottages.
