Behind the old mill, the old wooden mill wheel is still suspended in the water. There are plenty of lovely seating areas and tables all around for a rest. The trees provide shade, perfect for a break.

A little information from the internet: From the Teutoburg Forest to the Emsland The Hase River is the most important tributary of the Ems. It rises in the Osnabrück Hills and then flows through the northwest German lowlands. The Hase River and its tributaries vary accordingly. Its waters flow over limestone, sandstone, sand and clay, and terminal moraine landscapes and moorland regions. The Hase's water network provides a habitat not only for a wide variety of animal and plant species, but also for people who have settled here over the millennia. Cities such as Osnabrück, Bramsche, Quakenbrück, Löningen, Haselünne, and Meppen have developed. On its way between the Teutoburg Forest and the Ems, the Hase flows through five districts, the independent city of Osnabrück, and 16 municipalities.
