Mittellandkanal in the Hanover region. Nice route along the canal, unfortunately the view is somewhat restricted by the grass.

A large part of the route is asphalt, a small part is on gravel. Very nice route, car-free so great to ride.

The hall church was built by Conrad Wilhelm Hase in 1899 in the Neo-Gothic architectural style. The nave, consisting of five bays, is built of natural stone. It is divided into three aisles. The medieval church tower made of rubble stone in the west has been retained. Its ground floor, spanned by a cross vault, dates from the 13th century, the upper parts are late medieval. The uppermost floor has pointed-arched profiled sound arches. The octagonal lantern with the tower clock was only added in 1859. Wooden cross piers with bizarrely profiled imposts support the galleries and the barrel vault made of planks above the central aisle. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin_(Hohnhorst)

The island of Wilhelmstein is an artificially created island in the Steinhuder Meer. It was built in the 18th century by Wilhelm zu Schaumburg-Lippe as a fortress to protect and militarily secure the area. Today, the island is a popular excursion destination with a museum and offers visitors insights into its history as well as a special view over the lake.

The medieval west tower remains a defining feature of the town, while the nave was renovated in 1898/99. Epitaphs on the exterior wall preserve the memory of the congregation. The plaque names Pastor Conrad Backhaus (1560–1622), who served in Hohnhorst from 1587, as well as a bell from 1593 and the sandstone baptismal font from 1601 (stonemason Werner Bartemann, Stadthagen). The large St. Michael's epitaph commemorates the dysentery epidemic of 1686 and a commission given to the Hanoverian sculptor Curdt Hoyer. The new building bears the signature of Conrad Wilhelm Hase: disciplined Neo-Gothic, clearly structured, meticulously detailed, and always respectfully connected to the existing structure.

I always enjoy boating on the canal. Especially in the evenings when the weather is nice! It's quiet and not too crowded!
