Beautiful watermill with park, which also opens its doors on Heritage Open Day.

Great windmill in Bad Bederkesa with a great view of the surrounding nature.

The detour is worth it for a break. If you take one here, you'll desperately need it. The forest path before it is already "awful." And the best part: if you continue cycling along the canal towards the Geeste, it unfortunately doesn't get any better in many very sandy spots. This is written by a touring cyclist, not a mountain biker.

For one euro, you can operate the mill and let the mill wheel spin for 10 minutes. It's wonderful to listen to the rippling water.

Long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions associated with it, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which could be useful on the one hand, but also a threat as a force of nature on the other - for various purposes. A good example of the human inventiveness of earlier generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by water or - as here - the wind. Only a few of them still fulfill their original function today, but fortunately some have at least survived as evidence of the old days.

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, a watercourse - natural or artificial - could simply replace human or animal muscle power with the power of the natural elements, for example to grind grain into corn or to press oil from fruit. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Nice walk around the lake.👌

The Hollen Mill, a listed former water mill, is located in Hollnseth, in the district of Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony. The mill was first mentioned in documents in the 17th century and was built at its current location on the Hollen dike in the middle of the 18th century. The mill was supplemented by a windmill from 1888 to 1920. The water mill stopped grinding in 1940. Today the Hollen Mill serves as a museum mill and inn. The mill wheel, which is depicted in the coat of arms of Hollen and Hollnseth, symbolizes the historical importance of the mill for the region. Visitors can view the fully functional mill technology and learn more about the history of the mill. In addition to its historical function as a mill, the Hollen Mill now also offers catering services and is a popular location for events and celebrations.
