Weser Bends Near Holzminden

Highlight • Cycleway

You ride directly on the Weser all the time, which makes cycling attractive. The Weser also makes some nice bends before Holzminden.

September 22, 2024,Rundfahrt von Höxter über Holzminden, Polle und Schloß Corvey
This great bike tour is definitely worth following. We start in Höxter at the train station, cross the Weser and cycle for kilometers along the water to Holzminden. Then we ride on the great bike path to Graven. There a small solar-powered ferry takes us to the other bank. Back on the other side of the Weser, we pass the …

In beautiful weather, we headed from Polle up the Weser to Höxter to eat Pino's "Giant Pizza" 😅 (delicious) and then back down the Weser. Here, the sharp, cold wind became a bit uncomfortable! But whatever, it was still a great experience 🤗

Headwinds are supposed to be good for your legs—but in 30-degree heat? 😎
A quick lunch break in Höxter, then back to the car on the other side. A nice tour on good trails.

After a tour of the old town, through which there is unfortunately a lot of traffic and also busy and noisy building, we went on to …

We were very lucky with the weather, and we had a great bike ride. We wanted to cross at Heisen for the return, unfortunately, the ferry to cross does not work on certain days. We ate our sandwich at the water's edge and spread over Polle for the crossing. Back on the other side of the Weser passing by ''Das …
I started in Höxter with its beautiful half-timbered houses 🏰 and past Corvey Castle 👑 where the State Garden Show is currently taking place. There was a ferry in the small town of Polle and I was able to drive back on the other side with a picnic stop and a short stop in Holzminden, the city of fragrances 🧪 …

Today, a short ride to the Weseralm in perfect cycling weather.
On Sunday, it's quite busy along the Weser, on the bike path, and on the water.
But it's perfectly fine for a relaxing ride 🎉
