Meints Mühle The smallest so-called "Erdholländer" (10) in Lower Saxony was built in 1867 in Buttforde. In contrast to the more common "Gallerieholländer", the sails of this type of mill reach almost to the ground. In 1923, the mill was bought by miller Meints and moved to Tannenhausen. The severely dilapidated mill was completely restored in the mid-nineties and is now operated as a museum mill by the Mühlen-, Verkehrs- und Heimatverein Tannenhausen e.V.

With a surface area of 89.2 hectares, the Eternal Sea is Germany's largest raised bog lake. The boardwalk around the nature reserve is currently closed. Only the path to the sea is open and can be reached from the parking lot in just a few minutes. There is a small platform and a bench.

The man from Bernuthsfeld is a bog body dating from the late 7th or early 8th century that was found in 1907 in the Hogehahn moor near Tannenhausen in the Aurich district. A special feature of this archaeological find is the man's extraordinarily well-preserved woollen clothing.

At around 6.5 m high, the Meints Mill is the smallest mill of this type in Lower Saxony. It is a one-story earth Dutchman with a codend and krojrad (device at the back of the cap with which the mill is turned into the wind by hand). The mill was originally in Endzetel (Buttforde), where it was built in 1867 and used as a grinding and water pumping mill. In 1923, master miller Heinrich Meints bought the mill and had it rebuilt in Aurich-Tannenhausen. The mill operations were shut down around 1960. By the 1990s the mill had fallen into serious disrepair. An association restored the mill in 1993/1994. Since then it has been fully operational again.
