Along the Wennigser Mühlbach stream, you will encounter some of the highlights of Wennigsen. The Wennigser Mühlbach leads you directly into the Deister foreland and from there into the Deister.

Beautiful path along the Mühlbach right through Wennigsen.

The Mühlbach is listed as an ensemble in the inner-town Wennigser course. An artificially created mill operating ditch runs next to it, which is fed by the water of the stream and branches off at the western edge of Wennigsen. Seven Wennigs mills with upstream mill ponds were located on it (see map). These served as water storage for the mill operation in the summer months. The Obere Mühle still stands as a memorial today as a former wood sawmill and today's Wennigsen local history museum, as well as the Mittelmühle Wennigsen as two of three overshot water mills. The third, also known as the Lower Mill or Klostermühle, was demolished in 1960. A cascade was built at the point where the mill wheel was. Shortly after the Wennigsen monastery garden, the mill operating ditch flows into the Mühlbach.

Two listed bridges can be found in the course of the Mühlbach not far from the Wennigsen monastery. One is in the monastery garden, one in the monastery office courtyard. There is also the beginning of the Mühlendammweg and a likewise protected weir on the Mühlenbetriebsgraben.West of the village of Sorsum there is another bridge over the Mühlbach, which has been registered as a monument. This arched bridge was built from natural stone blocks in the mid-19th century. Today, state road 391 from Wennigsen to Sorsum leads over this bridge.As part of the planning for the Hanover Garden Region project, the inner-city area was revised by a landscape planning office. New lighting systems were installed, hydrangea beds laid out and the historic character underlined, for example, by the exposure of natural stone profiles.
