Tips from the Community
„Bäker´s Mühle“ In 1867, a windmilling cooperative was founded in Molbergen, which had the windmill erected in 1870. The cooperative sold the windmill a few years later to H. Hermes, who then later sold it on to Bäker. In May 1940, Bäker's windmill burned down, and the residential house of A. Lohmann on the other side of the street also burned down due to flying sparks. The cap windmill was not rebuilt for economic reasons. The massive base was covered with roof tiles. In 2007, the meanwhile dilapidated base was then demolished.

The Große Tredde is a scenic, wooded dune belt and part of the protected heathland directly on the reservoir. It is located on the northwestern shore near the village of Dwergte (Molbergen). Here you will find the striking Orkanstein, which commemorates the great storm catastrophe of 1972. The area can be explored excellently via the "Waldlehr- und Erlebnispfad Dwergter Sand" (Forest Education and Experience Trail Dwergter Sand).

The heathlands and moors at the Thülsfelder Talsperre reservoir are crisscrossed by varied paths through open heath landscapes, quiet moorland areas, and shady forest sections. And every now and then you'll see one of the old, thatched sheepfolds – a beautiful photo opportunity.

The cuisine at Hotel Seeblick is first-class. Always delicious. But be careful, it's always very busy. So it's best to reserve a table in advance.
