The mill building is an almost square brick building with some small facade openings for some daylight. The mill building has two floors and a high hipped roof covered with Dutch tiles. There is a large opening above the door and a hatch in the hood with a lifting beam for grain bags. Since the restoration in 1997, the mill has been in use every week. Volunteer millers saw wood and ground grain for livestock feed using water power. The water wheel also supplies power to the electricity grid.

Watermill

Highlight • Monument

The water mill you see here is over 300 years old and still in use. The mill was restored in the late 1990s and is today used for grinding grain. The water mill is located on the idyllic Baakse Beek. A fish passage has also been constructed so that fish can swim through safely.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful road through the forest. On summer days it can be busy with touring bikes and day trippers.

Dochterenseweg Over the Berkel and Twentekanaal Bridges

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Lovely quiet road with fresh asphalt (Feb 2024) which crosses both the Berkel and Twentekanaal. Not the widest so be considerate when encountering oncoming traffic.
