Weser River in Hameln

Highlight • River

Hameln, the famous Pied Piper town, lies on both sides of the Weser. On the banks of the historic old town you can look out over the river island of Werder and even sail across for a visit.

Historic Old Town of Hamelin

Highlight • Historical Site

Very beautiful historic old town with Pied Piper's House, branching pedestrian zone directly on the Weser cycle path.
To explore the whole city, it makes sense to stay overnight.

From here you can enjoy a wonderful view over the Weser to Rinteln. The Catholic St. Sturmius Church can be seen on the left and the Evangelical Lutheran St. Nikolai Church on the right.

Pure nature. Like the entire Weser cycle path, this section is also well developed.

The start and end of the tour can be easily reached by S-Bahn from Hanover. The route runs along the Weser close to the Weser without any major climbs and offers numerous places to stop for refreshments.

Only near Bad Oynhausen does the river make another large loop before leaving the mountains behind in Porta Westfalica. The cycle path is well-developed. In some places it is too narrow, as there are many long-distance cyclists and day-trippers on the …

Day 7 | On the journey to Minden, the floodplains become larger, the half-timbered buildings become fewer and brick buildings increase. Everything is very rural. We spent the night in a tent at the Minden Kanu-Klub e.V., and here too we would like to say thank you for the use of the boathouse.

1st highlight: Fischbeck Collegiate Church. The "Kreuzhof" (= cloister) was open, but a resolute canoness demanded privacy. The ladies should be allowed …

Started this morning in the sunshine in Minden, unfortunately strong headwind all day, but dry. Checked in at the Hotel Mercure in Hameln. Today on Saturday the bike path was well frequented, sometimes it gets quite narrow. A few sections run directly on the Weser, but a lot next to the road. Allegedly, the Weser cycle path is said to …
