The Volmolen in Opoeteren is a beautiful 17th century watermill on the picturesque Bosbeek. Once used for processing wool, this well-preserved mill now stands in the middle of a quiet, green environment that invites you to take a short break. An authentic piece of heritage where you can taste the atmosphere of the past, ideal for a stopover during a cycling or walking tour.

Watermill on the Bosbeek from 1751. Originally a fulling mill (for fulling, compacting woven wool) and later a grain mill. Now a beautiful holiday home with B&B in a beautiful location.
