On the old narrow-gauge railway line from Ihrhove to Westrhauderfehn, which is now the Ostfriesland hiking trail, the area around the former small railway station, of which the old platform is still there, is being beautifully redesigned.

Post mill on the Wiek, Papenburg

Highlight • Monument

Built in 1709, it's the oldest mill in the Emsland region. And not only that: it's also the only still-functioning post mill in the area. You can turn it on its foundation to the perfect angle to the wind direction, and you can regularly see it in action. You can also visit the inside by prior arrangement. You can find more information here: emsland.com/poi/bockwindmuehle-papenburg.
