... if you need a little encouragement, our Minden Beacon Mile also provides something good for your spirit and mind. Under the motto “Take a moment…to brighten your day”, beacons at several churches – St. Simeoniskirche, St. Marienkirche, St. Martinikirche – and at the Glacisbrücke (pedestrian bridge across the river Weser), the small cathedral courtyard and the central bus station send thought-provoking impulses and invite people to escape the hectic daily routine for a quiet moment.
