The well-preserved and still fully active water mill in Maschen-Horst is a popular meeting place for families, cyclists, canoeists and walkers. Located directly on the Seeve, the rippling of the water has a calming effect on every visitor. You will also find a stage of the Seeve cycle path here. The mill dates back to 1529 or earlier and is owned by the Schmanns family, who run the "Zur Horster Mühle" restaurant with great love.
