Schwane Tower Windmill

Highlight • Monument

The Dutch mill still bears the name of its builder Josef Schwane today. Fun fact: the last owner who sold the mill in 1984 also bore this name. Today there are apartments in the buildings.

Hervester Schwall (Lippe River Rapids)

Highlight • River

The otherwise calmly flowing lip has clear waves there. You can see them from the bridge. You can only really experience the waves when you go down to the river bank. So get off the bike and continue on foot.
