The route starts at the Grote Geesterse Molen and takes you to Mander, where you can visit water mill Bels and water mill Frans.

The Mill of Lage – a water mill – is located in Germany, but belongs to the Twickel estate in Twente. The route then takes you along the Windmill Uelsen. This is built from Bentheim sandstone, like more mills in the area.
A series of beautiful winding roads will take you to Wilsum in Germany. It is worth taking a moment to get off to see the beautifully situated water mill there.
