Bridge Over the Mittelland Canal

Highlight • Bridge

From bridge to bridge, but every canal bridge also has an exit. This way you can quickly reach a place on the canal path.

Weser Ferry Petra Solara

Highlight • Bridge

The Petra Solara, the only ferry in NRW powered by solar energy, connects in every respect: two villages, two banks of the Weser, people and nature, ecology with economy, the useful with the beautiful. For exactly 20 years, since August 2002, the Petra Solara has been sailing between Hävern and Windheim. It resumes a centuries-old ferry tradition (a ferry connection was mentioned here as early as 1548), which was still alive in both Weser villages 25 years after the end of the old ferry connection (1976). It was the beginning of an unprecedented success story. Today the Petra Solara is more indispensable and popular than ever. And an experience of a special kind!

Hävern Ferry Dock (PetraSolara)

Highlight • Rest Area

Not only the Weser ferry "Petra Solara" docks and departs here. There is also a nice rest area here: if you are waiting for the ferry or just because, you can sit relaxed here and enjoy the view of the Weser, the ferry and across to Windheim. You can read interesting information on information boards about "Petra Solara" and the unique nature reserve Weseraue/ Häverner Marsch. A wonderful place to stay even outside of the travel times.🌞🙋‍♂️

Büsching's Mill, Petershagen

Highlight • Monument

This Dutch windmill can be visited. The mill has recently been powered by a diesel engine. During guided tours, the functionality is explained, the mill wheel runs and everything works.

On Mill Day and elsewhere, bread is baked in the large oven. Not far from here is the Nobel Youth Hostel Petershagen.

Interesting water and windmill in one. Behind it is a beautiful monastery church and the five Meierhöfe with typical half-timbered houses.
