Bourtange is an inhabited former fortress in the Netherlands. It is located in the Dutch province of Groningen, two kilometers from the German-Dutch border near Dörpen. Bourtange belongs to Westerwolde, whose part of the municipality Vlagtwedde therefore has a cannon in its coat of arms. Wikipedia

Kapitein Prottstraat 1C 9545 PE Bourtange Route The Bourtange fortress mill was built on the model of a post mill from Ter Haar, which stood in Bourtange until 1832, but was transported to Ter Haar after the fortress was dissolved. A fortress mill must not only be able to grind grain, but also be able to be dismantled quickly in the event of a siege. It took about a day to dismantle the mill. The mill could then be reinstalled in a safe location where it was no longer in the enemy's line of fire and protected from cannonballs. To ensure that grain could still be ground during a siege, a horse mill was used, i.e. a mill that was not powered by wind power, but by a horse (steed) or a donkey. https://www.visitgroningen.nl/de/standorte/2092796692/festungsmuhle-bourtange

Bourtange is always a nice destination on the bike tour from Emsland to the Netherlands, but here the hikers have a clear advantage, they simply see more -:)

Very nice part with a view of the Ems. There are also sections always behind the dike: not visible there

The original Rosmill in Bourtange is said to be about 400 years old, but the mill that stands there today is a reconstruction from 1988.
