Nienburg Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

Definitely worth taking a break in Nienburg on the Weser cycle path. The market square is really idyllic, but the rest of the town is also worth seeing.

Conny E-🚴, 🥾🥾🎒 😎
November 5, 2025, Weserbrücke Landesbergen

The Weser Cycle Path is very well-developed and one of the best cycling and hiking trails. The Weser bridge near Landesbergen is a beautiful and useful connection for cyclists and hikers. From the bridge, you have a stunning view in both directions across the Weser floodplain. A bike tour is highly recommended 👍🏻.

If, like me, you come from a region where there are streams instead of rivers, the sight of a cargo ship in a lock is always something special.🙋

I've cycled past here many times, rain or shine, the barrage is simply a part of the Weser Cycle Route :)

Water always has a magical attraction and in a lock like this you can get very close to the ships.

The route on the Landesberger side of the Weser towards Nienburg is also better than the one on the left side of the Weser, I often travel on both sides without luggage, then I am happy when I have the Wellier loop behind me
