Veltheim Windmill

Highlight • Monument

The Veltheim windmill from 1903 is a Wallhollander with sails and wind rose (dummy). Your grinder is now operated with a motor and used for grinding for your own use.

Cycle Path Near Rehme

Highlight • Cycleway

To start a tour along the Weser, the free nature park in the Great Weser bend near the Southern Lake is a good option.

Weser cycle path at the Werre-Weser-Kuss

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here I prefer to drive at off-peak times (very early or very late) and during the week when it's not so crowded here. It is precisely the great routing directly on the Weser that makes this route so attractive. To date, this has been countered by the fact that the section between the "Altes Fährhaus" and the railway bridge is very narrow and bumpy. It is planned that this section will be expanded and modernized in line with requirements in the foreseeable future. Hopefully soon!

Weser Raftsman Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

At the gates of Bad Oeynhausen, the Weser rafters have been commemorated. Rafter is an extinct profession. Not only the Weser was used until the 1960s as a means of transport to transport with the help of the flow logs from A to B. The task of the raftsmen was to bind the logs together with willow branches and to launch the resulting raft with up to nine logs in a controlled way to the timber handling stations.
