A little info from the internet: History: The cycle paths use former routes of the Minden district railways, whose passenger service was discontinued in the 1960s/70s.

Great bike path on the old railway line between Harrienstedt and Uchte. It's a leisurely 24km ride. Only a few intersections slow you down. The asphalt is excellent!
