Bursfelde Monastery had a major impact on European monastic life with its reforms in the 15th century and therefore has a great history! The complex, parts of which have been preserved today, is particularly impressive with the Romanesque basilica of St. Thomas and St. Nicholas. Definitely worth seeing!

It's really nice to be standing where Fulda and Werra "kiss" and the Weser is formed. You have an even better overview from the car bridge with bicycle and pedestrian path across the street.

Here the Weser begins at the confluence of the Fulda and Werra - the cycle path to Bremen is mostly well developed and recommendable.
