Weser Radweg (Cycleway)

Weser  Radweg (Cycleway)

More about the Weser Radweg.  

It is fairly easy to get to by car or by train.   It is easy cycling, and the facilities are good.   If you want to cycle the whole thing, from Hannoverscher Münden on to Cuxhaven the cycleway extends for almost 500km.  It is an ideal introduction into long distance holiday cycling.   There are an abundance of good long distance cycle-routes in Germany.

      Hannoverscher Münden is the start of the Weser which begins at confluence of the Werra and the Fulda rivers.

There are plenty of B & Bs (Bett und Bike), hotels, and campsites  en-route.

       There is a very nice campsite just across the river south of Bad Oeyenhausen, which is about 17km south of Minden, where the Ferry in the background takes Pedestrians and cyclists across; one just has to ring a large brass bell to attract the Ferryman’s attention.    

        The display map is for another cycle-route, off the Weser Route, which links a number of attractive windmills.

   Like most towns in Germany, Minden has a network of safe cycleways that connect to surrounding towns and villages.

Please note that on the blue sign in this picture to indicate a shared-use pathway, the pedestrian is depicted above the bicycle (as it should be), unlike it is in the UK.
