Intschede Weir (Langwedel Barrage)

Once again we are amazed at the technical achievement of wresting electricity from the running water of the Weser. And at the same time, this building offers such a wonderful view over the Weser in both directions.

Great campsite with a large tent meadow in a quiet location. There are also pitches for motorhomes and caravans. The sanitary facilities are in perfect order. The possibility to eat something (snack bar) is unfortunately only available on weekends. Rolls/pastries can be pre-ordered for the next morning and coffee is available. We felt very comfortable with our tent as cycle …

After a very good breakfast in our old bakery, we continue on. I'm looking forward to the ferry, which we see after a few kilometers. We cross over to the left bank of the Weser via the Schweringen-Gandesbergen Weser ferry and the cycle path takes us via Bücken to Hoya. In Bücken, the Romanesque collegiate church with its double-tower façade …

Immediately after the start, just a few meters away from the Weser cycle path, is the Drakenburg manor with a beautiful old archway. Shortly before Schwering, you change sides of the river with the …
