Stage 7: Bremerhaven to Cuxhaven – Weser Cycle Route
Endspurt! Wir können den Duft der Nordsee bereits riechen, auch wenn der nicht besonders schöne, aber dennoch sehr beeindruckende Containerhafen von Bremerhaven die Sicht auf das Meer noch verdeckt. Wir beobachten, wie ein Frachter mit hunderten Containern von den vielen Kränen be- und entladen wird. Faszinierend!
Dem Deich folgend, geht…

Stage 6: Bremen to Bremerhaven – Weser Cycle Route
Der Weser folgend verlassen wir Bremen und fahren in die Wesermarsch. Nach einem kurzen Streckenabschnitt durch Industriegebiete radeln wir wieder zwischen Deich, weidenden Schafen und Backsteinhöfen. Das ist sogar bei Regen schön!
Mittlerweile sehen wir immer mehr Höfe mit traditionellen Strohdächern. Es fasziniert uns jedes Mal aufs Neue, wie schnell…

Following the Weser River, we leave Bremen and enter the Wesermarsch region. After a short stretch through industrial areas, we cycle again between dikes, grazing sheep, and brick farms. It's beautiful even in the rain!
We now see more and more farms with traditional thatched roofs. We are always fascinated

Stage 5: Nienburg to Bremen – Weser Cycle Route
Am Marktplatz von Nienburg ist Sonntagmorgens kurz nach 7 Uhr noch niemand auf den Straßen. Also haben wir die Pracht der historischen Häuser entlang der Lange Straße für uns alleine! Nach nur wenigen Kilometern auf dem Sattel, erreichen wir die Landschaftsschutzgebiete Lemker und Drakenburger Marsch und beobachten Feldhasen, Rehe, Reiher,…

At Nienburg's market square shortly after 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning, there's still no one on the streets. So we have the splendor of the historic houses along Lange Straße all to ourselves! After just a few kilometers on the saddle, we reach the Lemker and Drakenburger Marsch nature reserves and observe

Stage 4: Minden to Nienburg – Weser Cycle Route
Wir sind zurück am Weser-Radweg! Letztes Jahr haben wir uns die ersten 3 Etappen durch das Weserbergland vorgeknöpft. Und weil das ein schon ziemlich grandioses Fahrrad-Erlebnis war, knüpfen wir dort an, wo wir im September 2024 aufgehört haben. Wir radeln also in 4 Etappen von Minden bis an die Nordsee…

We're back on the Weser Cycle Route! Last year, we tackled the first three stages through the Weser Uplands. And because that was already a pretty fantastic cycling experience, we're picking up where we left off in September 2024. So, we're cycling in four stages from Minden to the North Sea - to Cuxhaven

"Always keep a hand's breadth of water under your keel!" a man calls out to us as we set off in Hameln. For us, this is clear proof that we are getting closer to northern Germany in big steps! 😃
And something else is changing along the route today: there are more and more red brick farms here. Each one

The fog is thick over the city this morning. We can only see a few meters before the white infinity begins. We follow the oak avenues towards Corvey Castle, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and feel like we are in an enchanted forest. How fitting, after all, we are on the German Fairy Tale Route

Hello from the Weserbergland, or more precisely from Hann. Münden! The Weser cycle path begins in this dreamy little half-timbered town, where the Werra and Fulda flow together to form the Weser, where the Brothers Grimm found inspiration. The river cycle path runs 520 kilometers to Cuxhaven on the North

Final sprint! We can already smell the North Sea, even though the not particularly beautiful, but nevertheless very impressive, container port of Bremerhaven still obscures the view of the sea. We watch as a freighter with hundreds of containers is loaded and unloaded by the many cranes. Fascinating
