Actually 12.5 km.
Unfortunately, the full battery was already empty after 8 km...
Go in the direction of "Fischerglacis" and then follow the various "...glacis" streets, but through the green areas, to the botanical garden / old cemetery and later to the "Preussenmuseum" car park.

Finally, a longer tour, in a cool 28°C😜. The Weser Lock is impressive. We were able to witness a live ship lock. The Weser flows beneath the Mittelland Canal. The structures are worth seeing. The city of Minden itself also has some very special sights🏰.
(The total route includes about 2 km of re-parking🚗)

... between the two hiking halves there is a short boat trip that is worth it. It is best to book the whole trip online in advance so that your wallet doesn't get too thin on board. Sausages, potato salad and "Ludwig" are available locally in Lecker.

Beautiful tour through Minden.
We started at the Kanzlers Weiden parking lot, along the Weser to the ship lift on the Mittellandkanal. Then along beautiful villas, over the historic cemetery, to the old town.
Back to the parking lot, the historic ship mill on the Weser was visited.
It was a beautiful Sunday.
