Historic Town Center of Bad Essen

Highlight • Historical Site

Bad Essen ... a wonderful little health resort on the Wiehen Mountains and the Mittelland Canal.

Mittelland Canal

Highlight • River

It used to be a port facility - at least that's how you find it on Komoot. Today (mid-August) only large heaps of gravel ... you can easily ride trekking bikes directly along the northern shore.

Mittelland Canal

Highlight • River

As is well known, the Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany. The canal not only invites you to cycle, but also to watch the boat.

Kronensee lido

Highlight • Lake

A natural lake with an adjoining campsite, dog and nudist beach. If you want to enjoy the evening after the pool has closed, you should show up before 7 p.m. so that you can still get in.

Römer Bridge, Hunteburg

Highlight • Bridge

I think the bridge is great and totally imposing, even if it was not built by the Romans.

Café Alte Rentei at Hünnefeld Castle

Highlight • Cafe

Impressive complex, surrounded by a moat and a magnificent park. Hünnefeld Castle was first documented in 1146 and has been rebuilt several times. Today it is inhabited by the von dem Bussche-Hünnefeld family. The park is accessible to café guests, and the castle can be visited by appointment by phone.

August 30, 2025,Bad Essen II

A relaxing tour from Bad Essen. Mostly away from car traffic. Two castles along the way. Hünenfeld Castle with a nice café. Passing the Kronensee lake if you need to cool off 😉. Bad Essen is a great place to stop for dinner in the evening.
