Authentic Grathem and Thorn

Limburg watermills
On this route you cycle past various water mills. In Grathem you cycle past the Grathemermolen. In Neeritter you then cycle past the Armenmolen, a relatively young mill that is only 35 years old. The last mill on the route is the Uffelsemolen. This is the oldest ban mill in the area. The history of the mill probably goes back to the 13th century, but that has never been determined precisely.
