Icon description route Description

The Watermolenpad is a special hiking trail along a varied landscape of forests and fields. The hike takes you to Minderhout, Hoogstraten, Castelré - a borough of Baarle-Nassau - and Wortel. Highlight along the route: De Laermolen.
The name of this mill is first mentioned in 1391. It was already an oil mill then, but it looked different than today: it was probably built of wood. In 1586, this wooden Laermolen was completely reduced to ashes, but fortunately rebuilt around 1620. In 1996, the mill was restored by a few enthusiastic Hoogstraten residents, making it a beautiful place to stay again.
