Minden inside the mill district

Nowhere else in Germany there are so many functioning mills, which are powerered by wind, water, horse-power or engines. On a bicycle ride along the mill route you will meet one of the oldest crafts, a varied landscape, picturesque villages and vibrant cities. The almost tarffic-free routes are carefully marked and the mountain silhouette with the distinctive cut of the Porta Westfalica provides additional guidance. In addition to the main route additional secondary routes were established, on which you take do smaller tours.

For the entire tour a breakdown in 5 to 6 stages is recommended. So there will be enough time for looking at the mills and other attractions along the route without having to miss out on resting and breaks.

For planning and executing your individual tour the mill district Minden-Lübbecke (Portastraße 13, 32423 Minden, Tel: 05 71-8 07 23 17) will be glad to send you detailed information material.
