300 kilometers of signposted cycle paths, idyllically situated along the Weser and the Wiehengebirge mountains, lead you through interesting moorland and farmland landscapes, pretty villages and lively small towns in the Mühlenkreis Minden-Lübbecke. What makes the district truly unique, however, are the 43 functioning windmills, water mills and horse mills as well as Germany's only millable ship mill.

In this collection, we present six day tours by bike that connect these historic buildings. The starting point for all tours is located in such a way that you can easily arrive by train or car and then set off immediately by bike.

In addition to our route suggestions and navigation with komoot, you can also cycle the day tours on the Mühlenroute according to junctions. The junction system supplements the red and white signposted cycle network. It is equipped with various numbered "junction hats" at certain signposts. These are clearly visible above the signposts.

You can start anywhere along the route. We recommend starting at the "Kanzlers Weide" parking lot. You can easily park your car here and Minden train station is also not far away.

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.

On this route, you can use the junctions as a guide in the following order: 32-30-25-24-19-1-2-20-21-23-22-66-69-65-26-25-30-32
