    Hiking

    This is the well-known ship mill (mill route no. 42). Since the 1200th anniversary of the city of Minden in 1998, it has adorned the banks of the Weser on the Weser promenade and is one of the most visited sights in the city. The ship mill is a faithful replica of historic ship mills that were on the Weser near Minden from the 16th to the early 19th century.

    The Minden Ship Mill is a reconstructed, fully functional historic ship mill on the Weser River – unique in Germany and one of the most popular destinations on the Weser promenade. It is located directly opposite Kanzlers Weide and attracts around 14,000 visitors annually.
