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.

Rest stop on the Weser Cycle Path at Tonwerk Heisterholz

Highlight • Rest Area

The left side of the Weser between Minden and Petershagen is fantastic. Good surfacing and a constant view of the Weser. Every now and then a barge comes by.

Minden Shaft Lock

Highlight • Monument

The shaft lock is the "old" lock. It was built between 1911 and 1914. With a length of 85 meters and a width of 10 meters, this lock is not sufficient for large motor cargo ships. That is why the "Weserschleuse Minden" was built in 2017 as a supplement. So there are two locks.

Weser Lock, Minden

Highlight • Monument

The Minden Weser Lock is an economy lock at the Minden waterway junction. It supplements the Minden shaft lock, which is too small for large motor freight vessels. The port of Bremen has also gained direct access to the Mittelland Canal via this larger lock for this type of ship. The new lock is located to the east, parallel to the shaft lock. The architectural design, with its functional style, does not incorporate any elements of the old shaft lock. Towers at the lower head are not necessary because the new lock has a stem gate against the downstream water (pull segment gate against the upstream water). The old shaft lock has these towers because the counterweights of the lifting gate are located there.

Mittelland Canal

Highlight • River

From the Ems to the Elbe without any gradients: on the Mittelland Canal, cyclists ride in the countryside and car-free across Lower Saxony - past ports, locks and barges.

Cycling across Germany and hardly pedaling up an incline? No problem if you orientate yourself on the Mittelland Canal. At a good 320 kilometers, it is the longest artificial waterway in Germany.
