The fulling mill in Epen, located in the province of Limburg, is a historic building that played an important role in the textile industry. This mill, also known as the "Eper Volmolen," was used for the fulling of fabrics, which means that the fabrics were treated to make them denser and stronger. This process was essential for the production of high-quality textiles.

The Geuldal is a valley in the Belgian German-speaking Community, the Belgian province of Liège and the Dutch province of Limburg. The valley forms the catchment area of the Geul and its tributaries. The area is characterised by large differences in altitude. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geuldal

The Calvary Chapel stands on the northern end of a low ridge on which Kuttingen is located and which forms the division between the Terzieterbeek valley and the Geuldal. About 100 meters to the west the Terzieterbeek flows, about 50 meters to the east the Geul flows and about 200 meters to the north the first stream flows into the other at the Volmolen. The chapel itself is located on the Smidsberg (which continues up the ridge) near the intersection of this road with the Plaatweg.

The Volmolen was part of the Vaals cloth industry. Due to the location of the mill on the Geul, a lot of water was available for fulling, the felting of wool. There was no such large amount of water in the Vaals area. Fulling improves the quality of woven woolen fabric. The substance is placed in large oak tubs, which are filled with a mixture of full earth (a type of clay), linseed oil, rancid butter, urine and water. Pestlers, powered by the water power of the Geul, flatten the fabric. Fourteen hours later the woolen sheets have become felty, rougher and stronger. The urine and rancid butter required for fulling were discharged into the Geul after use. It is therefore not surprising that the Volmolen was built outside the village center of Epen! Around 1780, the Volmolen was converted into a grain mill. The grain that is milled today by volunteer millers comes from natural fields and goes to an organic livestock farm. The complex is located between the Geul and a dug mill branch. Water is pushed up in the mill branch to increase the gradient of the water at the water wheel. The buildings, a mill house and a farm with attached barns, surround a courtyard.

Nice climb, from this climb you can continue to Camerig and Vaals, or in the other direction towards Kruisberg, Eyserboswes
