Collegiate Church of St. Materniani and St. Nicolai (Bücker Dom)

Highlight • Religious Site

You should definitely see the collegiate church in Bücken. The crossroad panels were made from copper plates from the old roof of the church by a local artist.

Drakenburg Lock

Interesting to watch the operation and fascinating to see how filigree even the long cargo cranes pass through the lock.

Weser Weir Drakenburg

Highlight • Monument

Info from the web:

Barrage with weir, power station, lock and fish ladder.

The Weser is dammed here. Ships can overcome the difference in height through the lock. It is one of six barrages on the Middle Weser that regulate the flow of water.

The barrage Drakenburg consists of a weir built between 1953 and 1956, an integrated small barge sluice and a hydroelectric power station. The weir is passable for canoes through a boat lane/boat slide. The Drakenburg lock for shipping on the Weser is located in a lock canal that shortens several river bends.

A run-of-river power station was built at the same time as the weir and has been in operation since 1955. The hydroelectric power plant was originally operated by the company PreußenElektra, which later became part of the EON group. As a result of an exchange of shares with the Norwegian energy group Statkraft, Statkraft has been the owner and operator of the power plant since January 1, 2009.

The Drakenburg Church is very nicely located, perhaps a bit out of the way, but the visit to Drakenburg begins with beautiful pictures.
Beautiful old houses at Burgmannshof and the beautiful Renaissance archway.

Weser Ferry Schweringen

Highlight • Structure

While this "exotic" Weser crossing was primarily used in the past by farmers from Schweringen with agricultural land east of the river to handle necessary agricultural transport, nowadays it is increasingly cyclists and other tourists who appreciate the opportunity for a "romantic" river crossing.

The Weser ferry in Schweringen is a cable ferry powered by an electric motor (mains connection).
