Unfortunately, the mill was closed. It still offers a great appearance from the outside.

Anyone who gets hungry or thirsty can replenish their supplies by inserting coins into a cash box. Drinks are chilled, of course, and ready to drink. There's also a water tap for refilling bottles. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos, but there are some highlights for cyclists and hikers at the kiosk, including photos.

This mill is a type of gallery windmill with a stone tower, also known as a tower windmill. Whether the tower was once a defensive tower from 1420 or was built around 1480 has not been proven to this day. However, it is certain that the interior technology dates back to 1554. This makes this mill one of the oldest with its historic milling technology still fully intact! The wooden milling mechanism is still well preserved on seven floors. The cap and its blades are turned into the wind by a churning device inside the mill. Until 1935, the mill was powered solely by the historic wind turbine on the top floors. After that, a diesel engine and electricity were added as power sources. Some of these devices can still be seen on the lower floors. The stone tower belonged to the Prince of Salm until 1965, and the milling facility was operated by the last millers, Dietrich Sterneborg and Bernhard Resing. Later, the mill belonged to the Borken district and, since 1994, to the town of Isselburg. Since 1995, it has been managed by the Werth 1986 e.V. local history association, which also offers regular tours. (Source: Sign on the mill) Currently, however, public access is prohibited for health reasons (due to toxic wood stain, perhaps).

In 2001, for the 25th anniversary of the Dingden local history association, this draw well was donated to the NRW Foundation and the Nabu. At the inauguration, Wendelin Haverkamp named the draw well "Anton". Anton van Stegen was on the board of the Dingden local history association for many years and built this well. He still feels responsible for the draw well and regularly visits the well to check that everything is in order. The wood of the swinging tree (previously always made of oak) also has to be replaced every 5 years or so. Although Mr van Stegen would have liked to try it out with an acacia to see if it might be more durable. (Source: Bocholter Borkener Volksblatt, BBV)

The Büngern and Dingden Heaths are a large nature reserve. Among other things, the Fääne project is located here. Simply beautiful heathland with wet meadows. Water and migratory birds feel at home here. Rare animal species such as the black-tailed godwit and the curlew can also be found here again.
