Kesselermühle Weir

Highlight • Structure

You have to implement it here. There is a bypass, but it's overgrown at the end. It is best to get off on the left bank, coming from Hovestadt. It's very muddy there and you sink deep into it. The shore is very steep. It is best to go right over the bridge and then immediately left onto a meadow. You walk to the end, it's not that steep there and you can carry everything down.

Lippe Bridge at Kesseler Mill

Highlight • Bridge

The former Kesseler Mühle was a very popular restaurant with coffee ☕ and cake 🎂. Then it closed and the saloon opened up a few years ago, across the street. It is still very popular and well-known as a boat entry point. The surrounding area is also interesting for water lovers.

View of Hovestadt Castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle Hovestadt is very centrally located directly on the main street in the city. It has a very nice big garden and a nice big forecourt with some animals and small houses. Really nice and private with a very idyllic appearance. Great photo motif with a very idyllic moat. There is also the Lippe with a stork's nest and an overview map of the Auenland route. The connection to the neighboring community Lippetal is only about 1km away. Really worth it.

View of the Lippeaue meadows

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you'll find a small parking area, ideal for hikers. The Lippe meadows are perfect for a stroll, and the charming Hovestadt Castle is just a short walk away.

If you head towards Herzfeld instead, you can admire St. Ida's Basilica and are spoiled for choice when it comes to places to eat and drink.
