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 so that you can easily arrive by train or car and then set off on your bike straight away.

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.

The town of Lübbecke lies on the northern slope of the Wiehengebirge. This is where you start your day tour, which takes you once around the East Westphalian town. There are also a few meters of altitude to master, as you cross the Wiehengebirge twice. You can start anywhere along the route. We recommend starting at Lübbecke train station. You can park your car here or simply arrive by train.

Leaving the town in an easterly direction, you will pass the first mills. At Bergkirchen, you cycle over the Wiehengebirge mountains for the first time, which can put some strain on your calves. Further along the southern section of the circular tour, the route becomes more varied. You cross the Wiehengebirge mountains a second time through the Auerbach valley and reach the North German Plain again. You then cycle the last 20 kilometers on almost flat paths until you reach your destination.

On this route, you can orientate yourself at the junctions in the following order: 79-76-75-74-63-56-57-62-59-60-61-17-16-15-14-81-80-79
