Weser Cycle Path near Bevern Forest

Highlight • Cycleway

Overall, the Weser cycle path is nicely developed. Most of the time it is easy to drive here.
On my tour there was a constant wind from the front, but if it had pushed it, the whole thing would have been even more fun. After the eighth meandering curve of the river, however, it also becomes monotonous at some point. The Weser feels the same width everywhere and the vegetation on the bank is never really different.

Easternmost Point of Westphalia

Highlight • Monument

The easternmost point of North Rhine-Westphalia is located a few hundred meters north in a gentle bend of the Weser and can only be reached across a meadow.
However, there is a nice marker with a rest area installed on the cycle path.
The history of the border is also presented here.

Luther Church Holzminden

Highlight • Religious Site

Visible from afar, the 63-meter-high tower of the Luther Church dominates the cityscape of Holzminden, centrally located in the city center.

In the middle of a lively city, the Luther Church, which is usually open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday, is a place of peace and reflection, a place for prayer.
