October 19, 2025, Hartensbergsee Beach

The recreation park includes a 7-hectare swimming lake, the Huntetal campsite, and an open-air stage. The planning and implementation were carried out by the Mumm engineering and architectural firm from Wildeshausen. The Hartensbergsee recreation park was opened in the summer of 1980 by then-Minister-President Ernst Albrecht. In the spring of 2007, the park was fenced off by the Goldenstedt Visitor and Tourist Association, despite widespread support for a petition. Since then, admission has been charged on "summer days." The focal point of the recreation park is the lake. Approximately half of the lake is surrounded by a sandy beach. The lake is particularly popular with day trippers during the summer months. The lake is surrounded by tall trees and has large lawns. The HIZ (Hunte Information Center) has been located at Hartensbergsee since 2005. This exhibition building provides visitors with an overview of the Hunte River. It provides comprehensive information about the river's history as well as its flora and fauna. Many exhibits allow visitors to gain an insight into the river and its ecosystem.

A small, worthwhile detour on my tour! The Lohne Watermill is idyllically situated on the river and offers a lovely place to linger. The historic building is well-preserved and, with its old mill wheel, looks truly picturesque – perfect for a few photos. The water flows gently right next to it, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

February 27, 2025, Lohne Watermill

The octagonal brick building in Lohne's city park was built in 1859 as a combined wind and water mill. There is evidence that there were already two previous mills nearby. To ensure that there was always enough water available to operate the mill, Pastor Heinrich von dem Kampe (died 1882) had the area behind the watermill, the "Wellen" and the mill pond, dug out as a water reservoir. In 1950, the interior of the mill was converted into a restaurant and a café. Rowing parties took place on the mill pond at that time. The building has been owned by the city since 1975; after thorough renovation and the installation of a new water wheel, it has been available to the "Kunstverein Die Wassermühle e.V." for exhibitions since 1982. The cultural monument is part of an ensemble that includes the Möhring farm, the mill pond, the city park and the open-air stage. On March 7, 2014, the watermill was reopened after further renovation and expansion with an exhibition by Helmut Helmes. The mill wheel has also been restored and will generate electricity in the future. The building is used for events during exhibition-free periods such as readings or concerts and is also a popular place for weddings. https://nordkreis-vechta.de/wasserm%C3%BChle/32991
