A beautiful stretch of road almost directly along the Weser. It is worth the small bike paths near the Weser to use.

Highlight • Cycleway

You ride directly on the Weser all the time, which makes cycling attractive. The Weser also makes some nice bends before Holzminden.

Very beautiful old spa town, many buildings around the inner harbor have been renovated. On the Weser side there are a few bars with a beer garden and a beautiful view of the Weser and the surrounding area.

June 20, 2025,Grohnde -> Bad Karlshafen

The lady at the reception in Grohnde was kind enough to charge my bike battery so I didn't have to carry extra power. The downside: The reception doesn't open until 9:00 a.m.
So I set off on my journey at 9:15 a.m. As I reported yesterday, the WRW from Rinteln to Hannoversch Münden isn't entirely unfamiliar to me. So I …

June 3, 2025,Wesertour 2a/9 Bad Karlshafen bis Hameln

I accidentally ended the tour early, so I wrote 2a and 2b / 9, with a total of 96.7km. Nevertheless, it was a very nice ride. We rode on the left bank of the Weser on this tour, and we found it to be a more pleasant ride.

June 23, 2024,Weserradweg Etappe 2; Bad Karlshafen bis Bodenwerder/Daspe

We never thought that the upper Weser valley was so beautiful! We are thrilled! A very beautiful river landscape with small ferries and some ferry houses/cottages that are run. Many very beautiful towns with Huguenot architecture (Bad Karlshafen) and Weser Renaissance (e.g. Höxter) and half-timbered buildings. Impressive Romanesque churches and monasteries line the cycle path. Another cultural highlight: the UNESCO …

May 18, 2024,2024 - Tag 8 -von Hameln nach Bad Karlshafen

This is the most beautiful stage on the Weser.
The route is mostly on good cycle paths close to the river. The weather was initially very pleasant. Hardly any wind, temperature just under 20°, slightly overcast. We took a break in the gardens of Corvey Castle. In the afternoon we had to cross several rainy areas.

Tour along the Weser with stops in Bad Karlshafen, at the Weser Skywalk and in Höxter. First overnight stay in a tent (a large meadow for us alone) at the Grohnder Fährhaus with breakfast in the hotel - highly recommended.

Second stage from Bad Karlshafen to Hameln via Beverungen, Höxter, Holzminden. Always close to the Weser via very well-developed cycle paths and beautiful landscapes.

May 10, 2025,Von Freddy an der Weser und dem Baron von Münchhausen

For reference, the tour started in Bad Karlshafen, Hesse, and when I left the state, I wasn't in Lower Saxony, but rather in North Rhine-Westphalia. It went through the towns of Beverungen and Höxter, and only shortly before Holzminden did I return to Lower Saxony. So, it was quite a mix, but you don't notice any difference along the way. …

August 25, 2023,Von Hann. Münden nach Weyhe - Tag 2 - Von Bad Karlshafen nach Hameln

On the 2nd stage we were faced with a number of challenges. The weather forecast with thunderstorms and heavy rain made us ponder. At first everything went well, but after about 25 km it started to thunder. We drove to the city center in Höxter and ended up with the first thick drop in the pharmacy. The pharmacy actually had …
