      The windmill is a little hidden in a park in the middle of Wyk.

        A literary monument – albeit one that seems rather bizarre in the context of the story – has been erected by the Spanish author Miguel de CERVANTES to the windmills with which our ancestors used the energy of the wind (instead of human or animal muscle power) to move the large and heavy millstones centuries ago: His novel hero “DON QUIXOTE”, who is also well known in Germany, albeit tragically (sometimes under the derisive name “Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance”), bravely faces them, because in one of the wonderfully narrated episodes he believes when he sees them that they are giants with four arms and wants to defeat them in a knightly duel.
