The Flootsmühle is a former watermill in Nettetal-Hinsbeck, located on the Nette, with an undershot water wheel.
The mill on the old Roman road was first mentioned in a Grenzweisum from 1556 "ghet aen op Vloevarts muelen". The names and spellings of the mill were also "Vlovartse-", "Florts-", "Fluerts-", up to "Flootsmühle" today. The mill had belonged to Count Schaesberg since 1706 and was operated as a grain mill. The mill was closed in 1875. Today there is a small, neat residential building here. The current pilgrim cross in the front garden is a traditional resting place for Kevelaer pilgrims. It stands in the place of an older cross that was set up centuries ago for an injured carter.

August 2021: "At the historic Flootsmühle, which looks really old and a little fairytale-like, we turn south and walk to the dormant Waldesruh Waldgasthaus."
