Bakkersmolen

Just south of the Belgian/Netherlands border is a great place called the "Bakkersmolen", or ..."the baker's [wind]mill."
It has a working windmill, which the owner built. A steam locomotive giving rides to children A steam-powered carousel, bakery, using grain milled in the windmill, and many other interesting things.
We have friends in Belgium who took us there. We saw no other 'foreign' visitors, and our friends told us that indeed it's really only Belgians or Dutch that even know about it. In fact, the only pages I have seen about it are written in Dutch.
There is no charge for admission, but they would like visitors if possible to patronize the bakery, which is nooooo problem! They also serve food and beverages for reasonable prices...like De Konnick beer. We were there during beautiful weather, and sat outside on the patio.
