Bremerhaven–Blexen ferry crossing

Highlight (Segment) • Rest Area

That was a great highlight of my tour. From the ferry you have a great view of Bremerhaven and the water. A short trip to the upper deck is worthwhile.

View of Bremerhaven’s skyline from Luneplate

Highlight • Viewpoint

The path on the Weser offers an excellent view of the Bremerhaven skyline, but only if you drive it from south to north.

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A very well-developed and navigable route behind the dike. It leads past the Dreptesiel (the oven) and the Lune estuary.

Certainly a tour that has been presented many times. During the week there is traffic. On weekends I would avoid the cycle paths along the Weser.

September 11, 2022,Rundtour: Brake->Nordenham->Blexen->Bremerhaven->Sandatedt->Brake

Today's tour starts at the Brake-Sandstedt ferry dock car park. From here it was mostly on the Weser cycle path to Nordenham, then on to the Blexen ferry terminal and finally by ferry over to Bremerhaven. Then it went back on the other side of the Weser to Sandstedt and then with the ferry to the other side of the …

Our bike tour along the Weser cycle path is not yet complete. Today we added the Bremerhaven-Brake section, twice.
(komoot.com/de-de/collection/2004627/-weser-radweg)

We took the train to Bremerhaven and then the ferry to Blexen. The first stretch went along the main route via Nordenham to just before Brake to the Brake-Sandstedt ferry. For the most part, the cycle path here runs along …

Start and finish: parking lot in front of the Sandstedt ferry
From here, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right of the dyke on easy-to-drive asphalt or concrete paths without traffic to the Weser tunnel crossing and finally on the dyke to the Bremerhaven ferry.
(The route on the dyke on stones and grass very bumpy.) But very nice …

September 30, 2023,Von Sandstedt über Bremerhaven, Nordenham-Blexen zurück nach Sandstedt

From the Sandstedt ferry pier to Bremerhaven is the nicer part of this tour. Sometimes along the Weser and sometimes behind the dike. Good agricultural routes with concrete surfaces. Then take the ferry from Geestemünde over to Blexen. The first part then goes through residential areas and you have to move along the 212 for a long time. If you …

July 19, 2025,Weserrunde Sandstedt - Bremerhaven

From Sandstedt, we headed toward Bremerhaven. Past meadows, villages with some pretty thatched-roof houses, and, of course, a headwind. We took the ferry over to Nordenham and back to Sandstedt, where the wind was blowing again... 😬. Few highlights and a lot of monotony along the dike. The other direction, from Sandstedt to Bremen, is much better.
