To the left of the bank everything flows to the Weser, to the right of the bank everything flows to the Rhine. So think carefully about where you take a pee break! 😉

There is a small parking lot and a small new rest hut on the way to the abandoned town of Blankenrode.

The watershed between the Weser and the Rhine. A bench made from a tree trunk marks it at the side of the road.

A walk through the abandoned city is highly recommended. The audio museum is very informative.
