The Spitzenburg Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The Spitzenburg can no longer be seen today. However, its history is well described. So this was the northern end of the Werder. 😃

Here is the descent into the Lumbachtal/Trumbachtal.

Mühlgraben Stream Crossing

Highlight • River

The Mühlgraben crosses a small stream here as the upper body of water. A not very common feature! 🙂

The Mühlgraben is branched off from the Trumbach/Lumbach in St. Georgengrund and used to power a mill in Gieselwerder.

The Eco Path Castles Museums Water Gieselwerder runs in and around the friendly Weser village of Gieselwerder, which has been the seat of the newly created municipality of Wesertal since 2020.

Today we dared to go to the Weser 🌊 and hiked the Eco Path Castles Museums Water there 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️.
Past the town hall, a bit along the Weser 🌊 and then towards the B 80 to Mühlenplatz. Unfortunately, you have to cross the busy B80 here to get to Mühlenplatz, the miniature park, and then up to the "water uphill" …
