There's always something going on at the old mill. Just sit on a bench and take it all in.

Shaded path in the NSG Dinkelaue mit Oldemoells Venneken

Highlight • Trail

A very nice bike path through fields and meadows. Unfortunately a bit noisy because the A30 runs in the immediate vicinity.

Episcopal Grain Watermill Nienborg

Highlight • Monument

If you like watermills, you have to stop by here when you're in Nienborg. Maybe plan a mill tour. There are still a lot in this area.

Beautiful tour from the book Cycling for the Soul. It starts in Gronau at the train station. Free parking is available. You have several opportunities to stop somewhere. At the end you can visit the animal park. (Admission free)

Technically no special requirements

Nice bike ride. Komoot did not record everything, hence parts I and II.
Departed from Epe. Along Dinkel enough benches, after that it became less.
Enough lunch possibilities along the way.
I found the part through Gronau a bit less.
