Tips from the Community

Wandertourist
May 1, 2026, Lutternsche Egge

On the Lutternschen Egge, with its 263 m height, there is an old quarry that can be followed along large parts of its upper edge. There are no signs pointing there, but also no barriers anymore. Those who walk along the upper edge experience a phenomenal view towards the Stemweder Berg or the Rehburger Bergen and far beyond to the north. You can really see who will come over for coffee next week. 😉 Incidentally, a completely new dinosaur species was discovered in the quarry at our feet: the Wiehenvenator, excavated only in 1998. The original skeleton can be found in Münster today.

You share this singletrack with mountain bikers, or rather, as a pedestrian it's better to walk on the path directly along the edge of the quarry. This is easily done and the cyclists tend to use the hilly spoil heap.

Milling and power generation at the Brausemühle are long gone; today it is an industrial monument from that era. As part of the renaturation of the Else river, the mill weir was replaced by a so-called rough slide, and in its place, the new wooden bridge for pedestrians and cyclists (must push here) was opened in 2010. Since then, this Else crossing has become a popular route for cyclists and walkers.

The Brausemühle on the Else (Elsestr. 159, 32278 Kirchlengern) is a former water mill with a long tradition. It was first documented in 1745, but is likely considerably older. For centuries, the mill and its products fed the people of the Ravensberger Land until it too fell victim to the nationwide "mill death" and milling operations ceased in 1972. What was special about the Brausemühle: It was one of the first power plants in the Elsetal valley and supplied Südlengern and Kirchlengern with electricity. Master miller Heinrich Schürmann was also an expert in electricity generation using water turbines. In parallel with his father's milling operations, he installed the first dynamo at the Brausemühle in 1902 and publicly advertised this then-new form of electricity generation locally. With success: The Heinecke cigar factory, the Wöhrmann bakery, and the Südlengern village school were the first electricity customers.
