The Baumgartenmühle is a historical district or residential area of the town of Wittingen and is located very close to Knesebeck and Hagen. It is one of several historical mills in this water-rich area on the edge of the Südheide (South Heath). The Baumgartenmühle is located in a chain of water and windmills that used to be vital for the region. If you take a bike tour from Knesebeck towards Hagen or Mahnburg, you will often pass the Stackmannsmühle, the Baumgartenmühle and the Krummühle one after the other. They are picturesquely embedded in meadows and forests.

In Knesebeck there is a very special mill that is an important landmark of the town: the Knesebeck Windmill, also known as the "Mill on Mühlenberg". It is a so-called ground hollander mill. This means that the cap of the mill with the sails is rotatable, while the massive substructure is fixed. In contrast to gallery Dutch mills (which have a surrounding balcony), the masonry here extends almost to the ground.

The junction network system (often referred to as "cycling by numbers") is a revolutionary simple type of cycle path signage that originally comes from the Netherlands and Belgium. In the district of Gifhorn, this system has been introduced across the board and officially inaugurated in spring 2024. Below the node number are arrows that show you which direction you need to go to get to the next node. Almost every location has an overview map of the surrounding area, showing all neighboring nodes.
