The mill site of Pulderbos is a fascinating stop. Every Sunday afternoon between 1 and 6 pm (in winter until 5 pm) this stone windmill turns and grinds. The mill is then even accessible to the public. Nearby is the 'Karkot' museum, with old miller's equipment and antique farm equipment. The old field barn is now a beehive, where the beekeeper is happy to explain.

Nowadays they are actually only monuments of a long tradition of craftsmanship: The heavy millstones were moved solely with the power of the wind as driving energy and, for example, grain grains were ground into flour (grain mills) or oil was pressed from olive fruits (oil mills). Sometimes, though rarely, the windmills also had the function of a pumping station and transported water to a higher level.
