The Huder Bach stream powers the monastery mill in Hude, at least it used to. It is idyllically situated on the Huder Bach stream, in a setting with the monastery ruins, the monastery tavern, and the villa and garden of the von Witzleben family.

Today, the watermill was open. Whit Monday is Mill Day, and every year, many mills are open to visitors. It's worth a visit, especially if there are explanations about the mill and the milling trade.

The sculpture park in Hude is somewhat hidden between Hude and Vielstedt. Coming from Hude, turn left at the Peter Ustinov School, just past the Hude stream. There are two other entrances, but only one is signposted; the turn-off from Vielstedt is easy to miss. There are many sculptures and artworks to see here. I would like to see some explanatory signs. A visit is definitely worthwhile!
