Weser Ferry Petra Solara

Highlight • Bridge

The Petra Solara, the only ferry in NRW powered by solar energy, connects in every respect: two villages, two banks of the Weser, people and nature, ecology with economy, the useful with the beautiful. For exactly 20 years, since August 2002, the Petra Solara has been sailing between Hävern and Windheim. It resumes a centuries-old ferry tradition (a ferry connection was mentioned here as early as 1548), which was still alive in both Weser villages 25 years after the end of the old ferry connection (1976). It was the beginning of an unprecedented success story. Today the Petra Solara is more indispensable and popular than ever. And an experience of a special kind!

Hävern Ferry Dock (PetraSolara)

Highlight • Rest Area

Not only the Weser ferry "Petra Solara" docks and departs here. There is also a nice rest area here: if you are waiting for the ferry or just because, you can sit relaxed here and enjoy the view of the Weser, the ferry and across to Windheim. You can read interesting information on information boards about "Petra Solara" and the unique nature reserve Weseraue/ Häverner Marsch. A wonderful place to stay even outside of the travel times.🌞🙋‍♂️

Schlüsselburg barn quarter

Highlight • Historical Site

The Scheunenviertel, which still exists today, in the Schlüsselburg district of Petershagen is a rural cultural asset of supra-regional importance. The oldest of the 26 barns still in existence today can be dated to between 1600 and 1700. The "Humbke", the highest elevation in the area, was chosen as the location. In addition to numerous floods caused by various Weser floods in historical times, a striking number of fires also destroyed the place.

The Scheunenviertel is mostly privately owned. A barn renovated in 2012 now serves as an information barn and provides information about the Scheunenviertel and the work of the "Dat Schünenviertel" association.

Schlüsselburg Weir and Hydroelectric Power Plant

Highlight • Monument

The Schlüsselburg barrage at water kilometer 236.6 is a dam with an associated hydroelectric power plant. It was built in the 1950s. The weir was built in 1956 and consists of two fields, each 40 meters wide. At the same time, a run-of-river power plant was built and has been in operation since 1956.

The hydroelectric power plant was originally operated by the PreußenElektra company, which was later absorbed into the EON Group. Through an exchange of shares with the Norwegian energy company Statkraft, the latter has been the owner and operator of the power plant since January 1, 2009.

Königsblick at Fischerhagen – Weser viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The wooden viewing platform at Fischerhagen (to the east of the Old Ferry House) is ideal for a short break to let your gaze wander over the Weser to the nature reserve and further in the direction of Schlüsselburg.
