Werre Cycle Path and Cable-Stayed Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The Werre is a river in North Rhine-Westphalia that rises in Horn-Bad Meinberg and flows through towns such as Detmold, Lage, Bad Salzuflen, Herford and Löhne before flowing into the Weser near Bad Oeynhausen. Historical straightening and hydraulic engineering measures, especially in the Bad Oeynhausen area and wages for flood protection, have influenced the river landscape and the ecological balance of the Werre. Restoration projects aim to partially reverse these interventions and restore the river's natural dynamics​​.

Werre River at Sielbrücke

Highlight • River

A canoe club uses the Werre River on the dammed side.
The existing path on the forest side will have to make way for it after the river is redesigned to be nature-friendly.
The area will become a wetland.
The river can expand here.

Siel weir on the Werre

Highlight • Structure

There is no "were reservoir" here. It is the Sielwehr that has been damming the Werre since 1753 to direct water into the Koktur Canal. The old Sielwehr bridge (which will be demolished shortly) and next to it the new Sielwehr bridge over the Werre. As part of the renaturation of the Werre, the weir is also to be demolished from 2024 and replaced by a so-called "Rauhe Gleite".

Benches invite you to take a break. Furthermore, there is a restaurant / Resturant directly on the weir, where you get coffee and cake or a cold beer.
