The start and end of the tour can be easily reached by S-Bahn from Hanover. The route runs along the Weser close to the Weser without any major climbs and offers numerous places to stop for refreshments.

August 23, 2022,Weserradweg 4: Bf. Hameln –> Bf. Minden

From Bf. to Bf. In Hamelin first along the Hamel. Be careful when turning left on Hafenstrasse: No cycle path! It's dangerous to get in the car's left-turn lane! Excursion boats were already operating at the Weser pier.

1st highlight: Fischbeck Collegiate Church. The "Kreuzhof" (= cloister) was open, but a resolute canoness demanded privacy. The ladies should be allowed …

The route along the Weser was quite varied and we enjoyed the bike tour to the fullest!!! From Minden we were supposed to take the WestfalenBahn …

The fourth day is the last in the beautiful Weser Uplands. Today we make good progress towards the northwest. Only near Bad Oynhausen does the river make another large loop before leaving the mountains behind in Porta Westfalica. The cycle path is well-developed. In some places it is too narrow, as there are many long-distance cyclists and day-trippers on the …

On the second day we started our cycling trip in Minden on the Weser and after about 70 kilometers on the bike we reached our destination, the Pied Piper town of Hamelin. Despite numerous rain showers, we enjoyed the endless beauty of nature along the Weser.
Incidentally, my e-bike reached a mileage of 30,000 km on this stage.

Today we drove from Hameln to Minden on the Weser cycle path .🚴🚴‍♀️
From Hamelin to Bad Oeynhausen it's fun to ride the path, but unfortunately it doesn't always lead directly along the Weser, you can see it from afar, because the bike path partly leads along the road or through country lanes.
From Bad Oeynhausen you drive along …
