A special place where the dommel overflows its banks and has to choose an alternative route in wet weather. A challenge to find an alternative great route

On the Dommel River, between Nuenen and Eindhoven, lies the Opwetten Watermill. This mill has a long history: it was mentioned as early as the 11th century, and for centuries, no fewer than three wheels turned simultaneously – making it the largest watermill in the Netherlands at one time.

The mill played an important role in the region, both economically and for its landscape. Today, it is a protected monument and a popular stop on walks and bike rides. From the mill, you can look out over the water and the surrounding meadows, where herons, ducks, and other waterfowl can be found.

The Opwetten Watermill was also immortalized by Vincent van Gogh, who drew and painted it several times while living in Nuenen. This makes it not only a place of technology and nature, but also of art and culture.
