The mill in Mulsum, belonging to the municipality of Kutenholz, is called Windmühle Anna Maria. It is a gallery hollander built in 1843, which today serves as a museum mill. The Anna Maria mill is located at Mühlenweg 65, 27449 Kutenholz Mulsum. It has a functional grinding mechanism, which makes it special, and it is looked after by the Mulsumer Heimat- und Kulturverein (Mulsum Local History and Culture Association). The mill offers exhibitions, mill days, and serves as a wedding venue. The mill is a well-known excursion destination and part of the Mulsum coat of arms. A great cycling and hiking route leads here to the mill. Highly recommended and interesting at the same time.

The first church in Mulsum, which was a small baptistery, was built in 786 by Willehad. Around 1100, Mulsum became an independent parish with its own pastor, who in earlier times still came from Harsefeld. The church was built of fieldstones. A great cycling and hiking route leads along here. There is a rest area in the immediate vicinity.

A fantastic cycling and hiking trail runs along this route from Steinbeck to Agathenburg. A rest area hut is located along the way, which also runs alongside the Feener Moor. Highly recommended.

A fantastic cycling route with rest stops amidst beautiful nature and expansive views across the fields to the Elbe 1 and Elbe 2 power lines. Because this route is so popular, additional rest areas have been built. It's also a great place for a hike. Since the route runs directly alongside the railway line, you can end your tour at any time and take the train back. Perhaps plan your trip accordingly.

The fortification is situated on a slightly elevated sand island on the right bank of the Schwinge River, only 6 kilometers from the Elbe. It takes the form of an oval ring wall measuring approximately 170 × 100 meters. The break in the wall on the southwest side is modern. The wall is still preserved to a height of 5.5 meters and is 20–30 meters wide at its base. The timber-and-earth structure was topped with a palisade and covered with sod. Within the interior, settlement and postholes, as well as ovens and hearths, have been excavated. There is no evidence of any violent destruction of the site. It was probably inhabited by approximately 150 people. A wooden quay wall was also discovered on the Schwinge River, extending towards the Elbe, adjacent to the fort. This small harbor suggests that the Schwedenschanze (Swedish entrenchment) was not only a defensive structure of the Old Saxons but also served a trade purpose.
