This almost 52-kilometre cycle route runs around the municipality of Stemwede. In addition to a few mills, you will also get to know the Dümmer Nature Park. You can start anywhere along the route. We recommend starting at Rahden train station. You can park your car here or simply arrive by train.
Counter-clockwise, you start the loop and cycle towards the Dümmer Nature Park first. Numerous ditches criss-cross the area, which is an important breeding and resting place for many migratory birds. Only the first mill on this tour, the Bock windmill in Oppenwehe, is located in the nature park. This is because the Kolthoff windmill is already right on the border and the last mill on this tour - the Destel windmill - is already outside the protected area. The Rahden Museum Farm offers some variety on this mill route. We have included it as the first highlight of this tour, but you can also save the museum farmstead for the end of the tour.
On this route, you can use the junctions as a guide in the following order: 95-94-96-99-19-1-4-11-10-9-13-12-99-96-94-95
