Cycling holidays along the Weser

Are you looking for scenic diversity, easily passable, flat bike paths, peace, and relaxation? Do you like fairy tales and legends? Then you are exactly right on a bike tour on the Weser!

The Weser Cycle Route is one of the most attractive long-distance cycle routes in Europe. It follows the Weser from its source in the Weserbergland region to the North Sea in Cuxhaven. Numerous cycle tourists enjoy the attractive cycle route every year. On about 500 kilometers they find varied landscapes such as quiet river meadows, green valleys, marshlands, and geest landscapes or wide heath meadows. The lovingly restored half-timbered idyll of Hann. Münden, where the Werra and Fulda rivers meet to become the Weser, is at the center of our cycling tours along the Weser. Just as impressive as Hann. Münden are the historic half-timbered towns such as Hameln, Höxter, or Holzimenden, as well as the numerous castles and palaces that adorn the surroundings along the way. Windmills and watermills, the Hanseatic city of Bremen, Bremerhaven, and at the end the seaside town of Cuxhaven with its maritime charm round off a successful bike trip on the Weser.

Bring two weeks of time with you and explore the entire route to Cuxhaven: The scenic and culturally highly interesting route is worth it! The Cycling holiday along the Weser takes you on the way to the North Sea from the delightful Hann. Münden through the regions of Weserbergland, Mittelweser, Bremen, Wesermarsch, Bremerhaven and Cuxland. You will follow the gentle meanders of the river on flat bike paths and be enchanted by picturesque half-timbered towns such as Höxter, Rinteln, Verden or Hameln. The Hanseatic city of Bremen awaits you with the Town Musicians, the Schnoor quarter and the UNESCO World Heritage City Hall. The great cycling tour along the Weser ends in the North Sea spa Cuxhaven. Take a seat in one of the numerous beach chairs and let the stiff breeze blow around your nose.

For those who have a week to spare, the Weser Cycle Path from Hann. Münden to Bremen takes you on the trail of Baron Munchausen and the Pied Piper of Hamelin. You will cycle through the Weserbergland, which is a real gem with its wooded areas, numerous castles and palaces in the style of the Weser Renaissance and the small enchanting towns. The Weserbergland is even home to the largest collection of Renaissance buildings north of the Alps! Nienburg with its pretty old town and the imposing cathedral of Verden make the one-week bike tour along the Weser an unforgettable experience. The last kilometers to Bremen, the Hanseatic city with the world-famous story of the Town Musicians of Bremen, pass by completely relaxed. The pulsating heart of northwest Germany offers a nice counterpoint to the silence and contemplation of the last few days.

For a long weekend, the Weser Bike Tour to Hamelin is a great option. The stages are short, so there is enough time to get to know the romantic Weserbergland. You will cycle from Hann. Münden without any notable slopes. The special location of the town on the three rivers Fulda, Werra and Weser and the more than 700 half-timbered houses from six centuries offer the perfect setting. Here, finally, Fulda and Werra unite with the famous kiss at the Weserstein to the Weser; or as the vernacular also says: Wo Werra sich und Fulda küssen, sie ihren Namen büßen müssen. The destination for this short cycle tour along the Weser is Hamelin. Nestled in rolling hills, Hameln with its Weser Renaissance and half-timbered houses and the small, mysterious alleys offers its visitors all sorts of things. But the region has other delicacies in store: Freshly smoked Weser eel or the blue dream (blueberries with vanilla ice cream, Advokaat and cream) are true feasts.

The Werra rises in the Thuringian Forest and crosses Thuringia, Hesse and Lower Saxony on its way to Hann. Münden, where it joins the Fulda to form the Weser. The start of the tour on the the Werra Cycling Tour is the theater town of Meiningen with its beautiful half-timbered houses and town houses. A particularly magnificent building is Elisabethenburg Castle, which was built in the Baroque style and houses various museums in addition to the town hall. Strengthen yourself with Thuringian dumplings before the journey starts on the Werra Cycle Path. You will ride mainly on well-paved forest and bike paths. A variety of natural beauty awaits you: Wide floodplains and mountain panoramas, bizarre rock formations, the imposing Monte Kali and dense beech forests. But of course, the Werra Cycle Path also offers residential towns, cultural cities, health resorts, romantic little towns with old half-timbered houses worth seeing, and Wartburg Castle, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Eisenach as the birthplace of Johann Sebastian Bach is a highlight on the bike tour along the Werra Cycle Path with churches steeped in history and historic buildings from many eras.

The Fulda Cycle Path offers 255 kilometers of varied and idyllic vacation for two-wheelers and has long been an insider tip. Mostly along the course of the river and on routes that are easy to ride, the Fulda Cycle Path is particularly popular with families. Through the diverse nature of Hesse, you ride from the source of the Fulda through beautiful places such as the Wasserkuppenort Gersfeld, the baroque Fulda, the picturesque Melsungen to the destination in the Weserbergland, Hann. Münden. The landscape is beautiful, through the meadows and fields meanders the Fulda, lined with trees and bushes.
