Weser Cycle Path Hann. Münden - Bremen SPORTIVE

Your bike tour should start at the Weserstein. Exactly where Werra and Fulda "kiss". The stage leads via Hemeln and past the former Benedictine monastery of Bursfelde to the baroque Huguenot town of Bad Karlshafen. The center of Bad Karlshafen offers an interesting contrast to the usual half-timbered idyll with its neat, renovated houses in the baroque style. There are numerous highlights along the way: the town of Fürstenberg with its porcelain factory and the old Hanseatic town of Höxter with more than 160 buildings worthy of monuments, mostly half-timbered houses. The small town of Beverungen has retained much of its historic face. Holzminden is known for the production of aromatic essences and perfume oils.

Many a romantic village along the way invites you to linger. Corvey Castle, the former imperial abbey near Höxter, offers an attractive mixture of art and culture. The romantic town of Bodenwerder was made famous by the world famous Liar Baron von Münchhausen. The Pied Piper town of Hameln impresses with an intact old town, wonderful half-timbered houses and buildings in the typical style of the Weser Renaissance from the 16th and 17th centuries.
