On the way towards the banks of the Weser, you can already see the only grist mill in Germany. It is also the first mill you make a detour to. Continuing north along the Weser, you will pass the Valentinsmühle mill. At Petershagen with the mill of the same name, you leave the banks of the Weser and cycle to Meßlingen, where you make a detour to the windmill. Just a few kilometers further on is the Dutch mill in Wegholm, which you can take a look at. The route now continues in a south-westerly direction. The Südhemmern and Hartum windmills are located on the edge of the Baustau meadows. The last detour is the Rodenbeck windmill before you are directed back to the starting point of the route.
