Discover the village of Molenbeersel
Village on the Border, as the lyrics of the song 'That's Molenbeersel', by Mietje Loyen and Naardje Laveaux, say. Molenbeersel, or 'Bieësel' in Maasland dialect, is indeed located in the extreme north-east of Limburg. Because the village used to be surrounded by swamps, few passers-by came here. Whenever someone did walk through the village, people would stand behind the window gawking (watching). Hence, the locals' mocking name is the 'gaaplepels'.
