Drinking Water Fountain Wehdem

Highlight • Rest Area

Refreshment anyone?
There is free cool water and benches for a short rest.
Simply press 2 or 3 times and it comes out of the tap really cool. Bottle underneath, done.

German Wind Power Museum

Highlight • Monument

The museum shows you the development of wind power as an energy source. The exhibits on display there are really interesting, and guided tours are also possible. Information about this and the exciting background of the museum can be found here: deutsches-windkraftmuseum.de

Benkhausen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Benkhausen Palace with Palace Park. The facility was largely renovated between 2010 and 2013. The park is freely accessible. There is a small circular hiking trail to the Mittelland Canal. There is coffee and cake in the Rentei. The vending machine museum is right next to the café.
