View of the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument

Highlight • Viewpoint

No matter what time of year, a visit to the Kaiser is always worthwhile. The exhausting ascent is rewarded with a magnificent view. Since the renovation in mid-2018, you can dine well in the restaurant and get an insight into the history of the mountain/monument. There is also a new kiosk on the car park level covering essentials.

A little tip from me: In the summer months it is very crowded during normal visiting hours, so it is better to go up in the morning or in the evening.

Werre-Weser Confluence

Highlight • River

Beautiful views over the Werre estuary and the Weser River. A great bike path, newly upgraded in the northbound direction (2018). There are a few day-trip cafés nearby with views of the Weser.

Weser Raftsman Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

At the gates of Bad Oeynhausen, the Weser rafters have been commemorated. Rafter is an extinct profession. Not only the Weser was used until the 1960s as a means of transport to transport with the help of the flow logs from A to B. The task of the raftsmen was to bind the logs together with willow branches and to launch the resulting raft with up to nine logs in a controlled way to the timber handling stations.

Since my old tail light is broken, it was time for another visit to powerslide in Minden. I combined the whole thing with a little tour on both sides of the Weser.
