🚲✨ The section of the cycle path between Darfeld and Laer is one of the most beautiful stretches of the entire route and offers you pure cycling pleasure on the best asphalt. As you roll east from Rosendahl, the path leads you through the wide, open park landscape, which is particularly captivating here with its tranquility and the gentle transitions between fields and small wooded areas.

The rushing of the water at the weir and the old walls of the mill create a calming atmosphere. The Vechte shows itself here from its powerful and at the same time romantic side, as it makes its way through the village. 🌊🎶

As a former convent mill, it was an economic center for the Augustinian convent and the surrounding farmers for centuries. Grain was not only ground here, but the power of the water was also used for daily survival. 🧱🌾

🚲🌊✨ The Old Mill on the Vechte in Langenhorst is a picturesque testament to pre-industrial technology and an important part of the historical monastery ensemble. Located directly at the weir, where the Vechte is dammed, it forms a backdrop with the hydroelectric power plant and the nearby church that seems out of time.
