Wennigsen Waterwheels

Highlight • Structure

Beautiful tour with interesting watermills along the way and stamp boxes...worth it. It's not difficult and the 10 km fly by 😉

Today we spontaneously took a short walk to the Wennigs water wheels. We had great weather, not too warm, not too cold. Stamp No. 3 is currently not available, so the code is noted.
