The former Kesseler Mühle was a very popular restaurant with coffee ☕ and cake 🎂. Then it closed and the saloon opened up a few years ago, across the street. It is still very popular and well-known as a boat entry point. The surrounding area is also interesting for water lovers.

Kesselermühle Weir

Highlight • Structure

You have to implement it here. There is a bypass, but it's overgrown at the end. It is best to get off on the left bank, coming from Hovestadt. It's very muddy there and you sink deep into it. The shore is very steep. It is best to go right over the bridge and then immediately left onto a meadow. You walk to the end, it's not that steep there and you can carry everything down.

View of the Lippeaue meadows

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you'll find a small parking area, ideal for hikers. The Lippe meadows are perfect for a stroll, and the charming Hovestadt Castle is just a short walk away.

If you head towards Herzfeld instead, you can admire St. Ida's Basilica and are spoiled for choice when it comes to places to eat and drink.
