Rest stop on the Weser Cycle Path at Tonwerk Heisterholz

Highlight • Rest Area

The left side of the Weser between Minden and Petershagen is fantastic. Good surfacing and a constant view of the Weser. Every now and then a barge comes by.

Königsblick at Fischerhagen – Weser viewpoint

"Why wander far when the good is so close". That's exactly what went through my head today (again) 🙂. I've had the tour through the Weseraue bird sanctuary on my to-do list for a long time. Beautiful landscape, wonderful views, pure nature 🌳🙂 The weather is bombastic 🌞 this is what vacation tastes like

In the best weather, by bike on the left side of the Weser to Minden, there a round on foot through the city center and on the right side of the Weser through an overflowing corn landscape back to Schluisselburg.

It was actually only supposed to be a small shopping trip today, but after the first few meters it was clear that today is a great day for cycling.
Without further ado, the tour is quickly loaded, saddled up and off we go.
The first kilometers always on the Weser cycle path, today almost deserted, along to Petershagen. The 7000 …
