A parking lot is right next door, but the restored Dutch mill can only be explored from the outside. Maybe open on Monument Day. The mill is always impressive.

A short hike, but very beautiful. There's also a large amusement park near Eckartsburg Castle. Kids are sure to have a great time there.

Unfortunately, the castle was closed due to construction work.

The town itself is quite desolate, though.

So I continued on, …
