Nienburg Harbor

Highlight • Structure

A small port area in the middle of Nienburg, which invites cyclists as well as walkers to linger there for a moment. Is very conveniently located on the path that leads directly along the Weser.

August 31, 2024,240831-1000 Energie Entdecker Tour Mittelweser Nord ab Nienburg

Day 16, rest day in Nienburg/Weser with a city tour plus the Middle Weser Energy Explorer Route. The tour went via Drakenburg, Balge, Wietzen, Mehlbergen and via Marklohe back to Nienburg. A very beautiful, scenically varied route. Hydropower, wind power, biogas and photovoltaics were the topics.
