Wilhelmina Canal with its ships and drawbridges

On the Dommel River, between Nuenen and Eindhoven, lies the Opwetten Watermill. This mill has a long history: it was mentioned as early as the 11th century, and for centuries, no fewer than three wheels turned simultaneously – making it the largest watermill in the Netherlands at one time. The mill played an important role in the region, both economically and for its landscape. Today, it is a protected monument and a popular stop on walks and bike rides. From the mill, you can look out over the water and the surrounding meadows, where herons, ducks, and other waterfowl can be found. The Opwetten Watermill was also immortalized by Vincent van Gogh, who drew and painted it several times while living in Nuenen. This makes it not only a place of technology and nature, but also of art and culture.

quiet path along the canal

The bike path is good. But be careful. Only ride on it from Mierlo onwards. A long way before that, it's unpaved and, in places where the concrete slabs aren't there, it's awfully difficult to ride on.

Painted by Vincent van Gogh, beautiful authentic watermill

Super

Beautiful old watermill. Nice terrace and nice surroundings to take a walk.

no tip, but a question: tomorrow I'm going with an electric children's cargo bike (Type Winora) via the Wilhelmina canal from Eindhoven to Tilburg. Is it possible to do this unhindered? There seem to be narrow bicycle locks. Who knows more?
