Minden's neighbourhood

Mill county

Minden is the heart of the so called mill county ("Mühlenkreis") - but there is also something to see in its surroundings. Nowhere else in Germany you can find such a large number of fully functional mills that are powered by wind, water, horse power or motors.

On a bike tour along the mill route you will encounter one of the oldest crafts, a varied landscape, picturesque villages and pulsating cities. The largely low-traffic routes are carefully marked and the mountain silhouette with the distinctive incision of the Porta Westfalica offers additional help with orientation.
