Tour
We recommend bringing enough time to visit the city hall from the Weser Renaissance and the more than 700 half-timbered houses of the town.
From Hann. Münden, the route leads through Hemeln and past the former Benedictine monastery in Bursfelde to the small Huguenot town of Bad Karlshafen, with its Baroque character. With its lovingly restored buildings and uniform Baroque style, the town offers a charming contrast to the numerous half-timbered villages along the route. Numerous sights await you along the way: In Fürstenberg, the historic porcelain manufactory beckons, while the former Hanseatic city of Höxter impresses with more than 160 historic buildings, mostly half-timbered houses. A special cultural highlight is Corvey Castle, the former imperial abbey near Höxter, which fascinatingly combines history, art, and architecture. Beverungen, too, has retained much of its historic charm. You’ll then reach Holzminden, which is known far beyond the region for the production of fragrances and flavorings.
Along the route, numerous picturesque villages invite you to take a leisurely break. The idyllically situated town of Bodenwerder is particularly well-known as the home of the legendary Baron von Münchhausen, whose adventurous stories have gained worldwide fame. Another highlight of the route is Hamelin, the town of the Pied Piper. The well-preserved old town captivates visitors with its magnificent half-timbered houses and numerous buildings in the Weser Renaissance style from the 16th and 17th centuries. The day’s stage ends in Rinteln, where an overnight stay is planned.
After the sections characterized by low mountain ranges, the landscape changes dramatically: Now the route is defined by the charming floodplain landscape of the Middle Weser. Vast meadows, black-and-white cows grazing peacefully, scattered farms, and numerous windmills characterize the open, flat landscape and offer relaxing views stretching to the horizon. The day’s stage ends in Stolzenau or the surrounding area, where an overnight stay is planned.
The route first leads to Nienburg, a town that was once characterized by its imposing fortifications. Even today, the charming old town with its historic buildings invites visitors to explore. The Weser Cycle Route then winds through the historic County of Hoya, a landscape rich in history and natural beauty. The expansive Wesermarsch region is characterized by unspoiled villages, scattered farms, and a peaceful, rural atmosphere. After this nature-filled stage, Verden provides a perfect end to the day. The town’s most famous landmark is its impressive cathedral. In addition, Verden has made a name for itself as a major equestrian and horse-breeding town, earning it nationwide recognition. Overnight accommodations are in Bücken or Verden.
Wide views across the flat countryside, meadows like green carpets, windmills, and scattered farms accompany you today and offer new photo opportunities. Passing the stork rehabilitation center, you’ll cycle toward Bremen. You might even be greeted from afar by the Bremen Town Musicians, but you should definitely take a look at the bronze sculpture at City Hall.
Today your beautiful Weser trip ends in Bremen after breakfast at the hotel. You can simply leave your rental bikes at the hotel and set off on your journey home without a care in the world. If you would like to return to your starting hotel in Hann. Münden, we recommend our practical return transfer service including bike transport.

Condition of cycle paths
The Weser bike trail is one of the best cycle routes in Europe. In surveys conducted by the Allgemeiner Deutscher fahrrad-Club (ADfC - General German Cycling Club), the Weser cycle path has become the most popular cycling route in Germany! Most of the time the bike trail runs parallel to the Weser waterway: especially between Hann. Münden and Rinteln it makes the special charm of this bicycle route. Large sections of the Weser bike track are well developed, paved bike trails, farm roads, or at least roads with separate routing paths. Occasionally short sections lead over country roads with less traffic. There are hardly any sections where you have to drive on unsurfaced roads. Often there are bike trails along both the banks of the Weser River. Especially between Hann. Münden and Werder you can pick the site and take the ferry to switch banks. However, the official Weserradweg bike route leads only on one side of the river.
Available Rental Bikes
For this trip, you can choose from 7-speed or 21/24-speed touring bikes from Velo de Ville or 8-speed e-bikes (Velo de Ville).
The bikes are equipped with a pannier and a handlebar bag.

Transfer back to the starting point of the journey

The driver comes to pick you up at your hotel and has much room for you, your luggage and where required your own bicycle. The bus takes you back to your first hotel (arrival approx. 6pm), thus ensuring a perfect return service without transfer and the hassle of hauling luggage. If you bring your own bicycles, an additional will be charged.
Extra costs which are not included in the price
A possible tourist tax, which is not listed among the included services, and charging fees for bicycle batteries are also not included in the tour price and must therefore be paid at the hotel on site.
