Visit the Leyssensmolen

Free children’s activities

Young visitors will enjoy horse-drawn sled rides, climbing straw castles, donkey walks, and other surprises. Using a mission card, they can collect stamps at different activities and earn a tasty reward when full.

Local treats

There's plenty to enjoy for food lovers too! Sample delicious treats at the welcoming food stalls or discover products from local producers at the regional products market. And of course, no visit would be complete without a freshly baked pancake made with flour milled on site by the millers!
