In 1942 the hamlets of Vortum and Mullem were merged. Vortum meaning “settlement at a ford” and Mullem “village near the mill” have grown increasingly closer together. Once a year the village makes it to the national and regional media. The Boxmeerse Metworst Races take place here on Carnival Monday. Between the church village and the Maas are the so-called river dunes where badgers feel right at home. The IVN has set out a very interesting and easily accessible nature trail here.
