Worth seeing
Nordbeck's mill
The watermill can be historically proven for the first time in 1610. However, the courtyard and the mill may have existed many centuries earlier. In 1865 it got a second grinding mill and in 1924 a sawmill was set up. In 1926 the mill wheel was replaced by a turbine, which used the mean gradient of the water stored in the five meter deep mill pond . The mill was shut down in 1954. Today it is still in operation as a wood mill from time to time. In 2002 the mill was extensively restored.
Hesingen observation tower
A 35 m high observation tower has stood on the Lönsberg (87 m above sea level) in Hesingen since 1999 . An identical lookout tower was also built on the Isterberg in the Upper County between Nordhorn and Bad Bentheim .
