Very popular with us road cyclists here in the region. It's actually quite a mountain for the North German Plain. 😉

Lovely little café with a delicious selection of cakes and tarts. When the weather is nice you can sit outside under the trees by a small stream.

Nice to drive, good surface. If the sheep fences are open, you can also use the concrete slab path behind the dyke. Driving from north to south there is almost no right-before-left, which is very pleasant.

The mill, a two-story gallery mill, was built in 1850. The new mill received two grinding gears and a bag box for the production of wheat flour. In 1896, the mill was largely destroyed by fire, but was subsequently rebuilt in a more modern style. Later, a diesel engine provided the drive when there was no wind. In 1923, the mill was connected to the electricity grid. The mill was powered by wind power until 1977. Today, the Aschwarden mill is owned by the Rönner family, who run an agricultural contracting business here. The listed mill was restored in 1962 and 1980 with the help of the district. The last renovation in 2004 was carried out with public and private financial support from the mill association.

Have you ever ridden from wave to wave? 😄 Waves (Cuxhaven) - waves (Börde) can be done in one day if the conditions are good. The tour to Wellen (Edertal) is a little longer. And more altitude. ☝️😀 Have fun!😎🚲

As can be seen in my photos, the harbor does not always have enough water, but the resting places always offer the opportunity for a little break
