Old Weser Peninsula

Highlight • River

On the cycle path around Bremen, in the south of Bremen you pass a romantic piece of the Weser, the old Weser, with this charming peninsula and its pleasant seating. You should definitely not miss this little detour to the islet for a short while. It is worth it!
There is also a bicycle pumping station directly in front of it, which can certainly be of help to some. The facility at this beautiful spot on the Weser Hike is relatively new and well-kept; the view of the river is wonderful.

A nice place to relax - if you don't have a problem with dogs.

One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, route in the Bremen bacon coat. Unfortunately extremely crowded at weekends or when the weather is nice. Handcart tours, skaters, walkers, cars and (racing) cyclists. Don't let yourself be distracted by the beautiful nature ;)

Very nice section for biking with great views. In late autumn there is sometimes some flooding, which makes some paths impassable and where you can get your feet wet.
