An easy place and landmark to meet for a group and then start your journey together.

Meerhout has a rich mill history. Each sub-village had a mill and many miller families colored daily life. When many mills in the Kempen were in danger of disappearing, Meerhout played a pioneering role in the revaluation of the Flemish mill heritage. The municipality currently has 2 windmills and 1 watermill.

The site around the watermill has many assets in terms of tourism, recreation, heritage, nature restoration, nature experience, nature education and local economy. She is the pivot in the landscape where all these domains meet.
the watermill
Above the entrance of this restored watermill building, the year 1678 is displayed by means of wall anchors. In the past, the mill had 2 wheels through which both oak bark and grain could be ground. Shortly after the First World War, the mill supplied electricity. When the miller stopped the wheel in the evening, he signaled this to his fellow villagers by interrupting the stream several times. That gave him the name Peer Plimp.
