Rest stop on the Weser Cycle Path at Tonwerk Heisterholz

Highlight • Rest Area

The left side of the Weser between Minden and Petershagen is fantastic. Good surfacing and a constant view of the Weser. Every now and then a barge comes by.

Drove in the rain all day, wet to the skin, only the last 8 km were dry to the beautifully situated Mühlen Gasthof.

June 26, 2023,Weser: Minden - Schlüsselburg

A nice tour. Most of the time, the Weser Cycle Path is ridden on the left-hand side, but it's also very nice on the other side and there's nothing going on on the piste during the week.

Despite the rainy weather, it was fun exploring an area that was new to me.

Took the train to Minden today for a ride with Grandpa.

Nothing has changed, and the left bank of the Weser is still a nicer place to cycle.

On the right bank, you cycle a lot through fields and away from the river, which I don't like so much!

September 6, 2021,MW2 Weserrunde Schlüsselburg-Minden (Start Schlüsselburg)

In the best weather, by bike on the left side of the Weser to Minden, there a round on foot through the city center and on the right side of the Weser through an overflowing corn landscape back to Schluisselburg.

For me, the most beautiful section of the Weser Cycle Route so far is between Minden and Petershagen. 👍

May 22, 2025,5. Tag: Porta-Westfalica - Nienburg

Today we had to contend with a lot of wind again, with the occasional rain shower almost a light storm 🤣. Otherwise, everything was fine🌻 . The wind was bearable, though, because it was mostly coming from the side🌬😎. The route was good, but we're approaching the North German lowlands, which means it's getting flatter😀
