Here is worth a stopover along the Elbe!
You can see the old mill and let it go well in culinary terms.

The Aurora Mill, also called Borsteler Mühle, is a windmill in Borstel, a district of Jork in the Old Country. It is a gallery Dutch built in 1856 by the miller Adolf Friedrich Peters. The Dutch windmill has a surrounding gallery arranged above a 10 m high, four-story brick substructure. From there, the actual mill rises a further 14 meters above the octagonal floor plan. The mill has sail-covered wings (sail gate wings) and nine levels with a total height of 24 meters. In 1907, Gerd Pickenpack had the mill barn removed and a compass rose with adjusting gear attached, which probably never worked properly, since the mill had already sagged and was slightly crooked. In 1911 it was switched to engine operation in order to be able to take advantage of times when there was little wind, for which an extension was built.
The "Aurora" mill in Jork was named in honor of Aurora, Countess of Königsmarck (born April 28, 1662 in Stade, † February 16, 1728 in Quedlinburg).
