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.

September 13, 2024,Weser-Radweg 9 Tage - Tag 5 - Von Minden nach Nienburg/Weser
Start on the 5th day in Minden with the best weather, but the temperature could be better. Along the Weser near Minden you come across the Minden lock which is worth a look.

Minden was the starting point of the 4th stage along the Weser today. For the first kilometer we were able to cycle directly along the river before it got really "flat". Fortunately it wasn't us or the wheels that were flat, but the landscape! Passing some beautiful lakes, always within sight of the Weser, we reached today's destination, the town …

There were other small highlights to visit along the way (e.g. Scheunenviertel Estorf, beautiful rest areas on …

The 5th and final stage has also been completed.
The landscape on the Middle Weser was no longer as varied as that in the Weserbergland. Here, nature and industry go hand in hand.

And unfortunately stranded in Minden on the train because of an "emergency"

Another beautiful stage today, the landscape has changed completely today. We are now in the North German Plain. The language is also different here, we say "Moin". The wind annoyed us in some places. We didn't see the Weser that often either. Nienburg is also a pretty little town that we will visit soon. 10 km before Nienburg we had …

Shortly before Nienburg we went …
