Niemöller's Mill

Highlight • Monument

Niemöller's Mill, Bielefeld's last remaining working watermill, is a wonderful destination for a day trip. Enjoy the merrily splashing waterwheel and treat yourself to a slice of freshly baked bread or butter cake.

Ems-Lutter Trail

Highlight • Trail

A wonderfully idyllic path along the Ems-Lutter river, which one would not expect to find so close to the city of Bielefeld and the Ostwestfalendamm causeway.

April 6, 2026,Ems-Lutter-Weg in Bielefeld-Brackwede

Start: Bushaltestelle Linzer Straße, Brackwede
Destination: U-Bahn-Haltestelle Bahnhof, Brackwede

For today's public holiday, not only did it have to be the longest route so far 🙂, but for the first time, a long-distance hiking trail again! 🙂🙂 And what fits better with Easter than the topic of Lutter? 😉

I was on the trail last fall. I couldn't take the lower bridge at the time because work was underway on it.

Today I finally managed to show the trail to my husband.
