Schleusenkanal Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice path along the lock canal:
Easy to drive, no traffic, great view over the dike to the canal.
If you are lucky, freight steamers or motor boats are just passing by.

Weser River near Achim

Highlight • River

An interesting section of the route to and from Bremen. The Weser, in its interaction with the Aller and the Alte Aller, has created a variety of landscapes here. This section is worth the visit.

The current riverbed of the Weser was formed in the 17th century. The changes occurred gradually, sometimes much to the annoyance of the riparian residents. For example, in 1680, it was reported that the Wittsande sands near Achim and Bierden, formerly islands, had now grown onto the Achim shore. Similarly, a washer was used as a cow pasture, although it legally belonged to Thedinghausen. Around 1690, the estate's house in the Streek had to be relocated because the Weser threatened to sweep it away. In the 18th century, the affected authorities attempted to prevent changes through hydraulic engineering. Battlements were established, first in the years 1725-29 near Ahsen and on the sharp bank, then at Mullwerder. After the settlement of inevitable disputes, the entire course of the Weser was marked by battlements around 1766. While they stopped the meandering, they caused a deepening of the riverbed, which in turn resulted in erosion of the riverbed.

In Baden, not only do the Weser, the Alte Aller and the lock canal, which was widened in 2010, meet at the foot of the Baden mountains, but Baden also has the Schraderberg, the highest elevation in the area (approx. 48m). The terracing of the Baden Weser slope in the 19th century opened up a wide view over the Weser. A unique panorama with a wonderful view of the Syker and Wildeshauser Geest as well as the Verden Cathedral.

From the bridge you have a magnificent view of Verden. It is absolutely worth a visit.

View of Verden and its cathedral

Highlight • Viewpoint

Verden is a tranquil town with a pretty old town and a cathedral with (only) one tower. If you drive over the Aller and the old Aller over the Weser cycle path towards Hoya, a viewpoint comes up shortly after the bridge with a wonderful view of Verden!

Two rivers, two cities. Aller and Weser between Achim and Verden. A beautiful tour. Hopefully with sunshine next time.

It was cold, but the sun ripped it out. 😊👍

Wow! It was a bit chilly this morning, but we had fun. But we do think this is not the best route to appreciate the Weser countryside.
Our tour today went to Verden, along the Weser and Aller, through wonderfully green meadows and flowering fields. A small detour took us through the Sachsenhain, which you should definitely visit if you are in the area. The town centre of Verden is worth seeing because of its well-preserved half-timbered houses and the cathedral. We didn't go straight back to …

The bike tour with Barbara was simply fantastic! Although we hadn't planned to cycle a full 60 kilometers, it was a wonderful experience. The landscape, the fresh air and the company made the day special.
