The story

Story · Opwettense watermolen

  • nl

You're standing at the watermill of Opwetten, on the little river Kleine Dommel, along the road from Tongelre to Nuenen. Look at the two wooden buildings on either side of the water. Between them, the river runs through a channel and drives two big water wheels. The gristmill's wheel is over nine metres across, one of the largest water wheels you'll find anywhere in the Netherlands.
