A tour full of history, craftsmanship and idyllic scenery: on this circular tour, you will get to know four different mills in the joint municipality of Scharnebeck. From the historic grist mill to the Dutch windmill and the idyllically situated watermill. Technology, culture and nature go hand in hand here.

  • Scharnebeck Mill
    The tour starts at Scharnebeck Mill, which looks back on a long tradition of milling. At the site, plaques and buildings remind us of the importance of the mill for regional supply. Right at the start, cyclists immerse themselves in the history of mill culture.

  • Dutch windmill in Artlenburg
    The route continues to Artlenburg. The striking Dutch windmill has characterized the townscape for centuries. Its typical design with a rotating cap is a masterpiece of traditional technology and a popular photo motif. Here you can sense how closely the Elbmarsch was linked to wind power and agriculture.

  • Hittbergen windmill
    The next mill station awaits in Hittbergen: the windmill, which is still a landmark of the village today. It has been restored several times and is an impressive testimony to regional craftsmanship. Today, the mill is privately owned and can therefore only be viewed from the outside. The location invites you to take a short break with a wide view over the marshland.

  • Neumühlen Watermill
    Idyllically situated by a stream, the Neumühlen watermill is a real gem. It once served the Cistercian monastery of Scharnebeck as a commercial enterprise and is now a popular place to linger. An information board explains the history of the mill and the modern fish ladder, which supports the ecological balance in the watercourse.

  • Return to Scharnebeck
    From Neumühlen, the route leads along quiet paths and fields back to Scharnebeck. The circular tour ends here, harmoniously combining technical history, craftsmanship and nature.
