Polle Ferry and the Castle Ruins

Highlight • Bridge

Slow down on the quiet eastern bank of the Weser, with a wonderful view of Polle and its castle ruins; the ferryman does his work in peace.

Münchhausen Town Bodenwerder

Highlight • Monument

Atmospheric old town with many pubs, Münchhausen Museum with interesting park, Weser promenade with pubs and a nice view. There are enough reasons to stop by on the bike tour along the Weser.

Weser Promenade, Bodenwerder

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Weserradweg is on the opposite side of Bodenweder, but the birthplace of the Baron von Münchhausen should definitely be visited.

July 11, 2022,Bodenwerder - Holzminden Alternative
For the return journey we used the ferry at Polle to now use the alternative route from the bike line. Unfortunately, most of this leads along a cycle path on the main road far away from the Weser. Only the last kilometer before Holzminden is as beautiful as on the main route. An alternative that was not an alternative to …

Officially COVID-free again as of today.

So now I'm cycling the Weser Cycle Route again from Bodenwerder in the opposite direction to Holzminden. Unfortunately, the wind was very grueling for long stretches. I was also not spared heavy rain and hail on the last 10 km - and there was no shelter anywhere on the section.

Unfortunately, the Weser ferry in Polle was out of order due to low water.....

About three kilometers behind Holzminden, you drive along the Weser dike and have a wonderful view of the Weser and the Weserbergland.
