The trail begins with a descent and then ends with a fairly steep climb.

Natural stone mill on the Neufmoulin stream. From the 18th century and which depended on the Commanderie of Villers-le-Temple.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could easily be replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grains into grain. There are essentially two different ways to drive water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water flow is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades, with this design there is greater efficiency due to natural gravity.

The 'new mill' dates from the 18th century and was one of the grain mills owned by the commanderie. The mill is in disrepair, but the structure of the channels that bring the water to the mill wheel is still clearly visible.

One of the former watermills of Villers-le-Temple, beautifully restored but the mill wheel is no longer present. It was a grain mill owned by the commanderie. The mill was a so-called banmolen or coercion mill, which means that the neighboring farmers had to have their grain milled in this mill.
