July 5, 2025,Kaffeerunde Oeynhausen- Porta Hausberge und zurück

We decided on the spur of the moment to take a short coffee ride to Porta Hausberge despite the wind.
From the Werre we went to the Weser.
Passing the old Amanda pier.
Since the captain passed away and there's no successor, the ferry has been decommissioned. Now we have to take detours.
Here on the Weser, the bike path …

During a bike ride, it's a great idea to take a break at the old train station in Vlotho.
It has been lovingly restored and is run by Karlchen.

Yes Utz, I've already seen some of your tours. Always great 😀 Actually I wanted to go to Minden, but it was a bit too cold for me. I lost one of my gloves, and anyway. After breaks somewhere, it wasn't for me, 30 km are not that many 😉. It was also early, which apparently had the advantage that …

Actually, cyclocross should be moved. But it has a flat tire and I'm definitely at odds with the rim. The losses amount to 2 new battles, half an hour and various nerves.
Good if you still have a hardtail that does a very good job. :)

A nice short walk to end the day.
Porta Westfalica - Vlotho and back.

Vlotho's "old town" impresses with its many beautifully renovated half-timbered houses.
Some of them are really nicely painted, like the "Hotel Grosskord."
I chose the left bank of the Weser for the return route. There you'll come to the Werre-Weser-Kuss (Werse-Weser Kiss).
Completely redesigned, it offers …
