About ijsvogel Arcen

The café is renowned for its assortment of coffee and tea variations. A visit is worthwhile. During a guided tour or visit, one can witness the two crafts of miller and distiller.
An ancient water mill is revived. Within a centuries-old water mill building, a cozy café with a rustic terrace has been set up.
