Rühler Schweiz

Highlight • Gorge

Beautiful area in the upper Weser Uplands, which is particularly geared towards cycle tourism along the Weser Cycle Path. So it can get crowded on the Weser Cycle Path at times. If you leave the flat Weser Cycle Path, you ride through a wonderful hilly landscape. Especially recommended during cherry blossom season.

From the right side of the Weser it is beautiful - but even more beautiful when you drive into it.

Overnight stay in Holzminden at "Atempause": We would happily recommend it. 😍

A very nice way. However, we had to drive 18 kilometers detour. The road was closed due to a construction site and the ferry hadn't left yet. So, all the way back

May 10, 2024,Weserradweg 3: Bf. Holzminden –> Bf. Hameln

The mill in Holzminden has to be bypassed according to the signs - my route was 2 years old... The Weser cycle path between Holzminden and Hameln is asphalted or paved throughout, with the exception of a short stretch before Hameln with fine gravel. The route can also be ridden in the opposite direction (depending on the wind...), small inclines …

April 27, 2024,Weserradweg 🚴 Holzminden - Bodenwerder - Hameln

This stage on the Weser Cycle Route 🚴‍♂️ goes from Holzminden via Bodenwerder to Hameln. A great route. The Weser on the left, rapeseed fields as far as the eye can see on the right, and always a great panoramic view. There are plenty of places to rest along the route. I particularly liked the rest area at Reileifzen. Cozy …

Today friends accompanied us on the tour to Bodenwerder, it was a nice tour together. In Bodenwerder we followed in the footsteps of Baron Münchhausen, which was very interesting. On nicely asphalted paths mostly directly along the Weser, we went on to Hameln.

June 10, 2025,Entlang der Weser: Holzminden - Bodenwerder - Hameln

Today, the Weser Uplands showed us where its name comes from: hills and some steep cliffs lie on both sides of the river. The cycle path is nevertheless easy to ride and mostly flat.

We also visited—no lie—the Münchhausen town of Bodenwerder and finally followed the faint sounds of flutes to the Pied Piper town of Hamelin.

July 18, 2023,Weser-Radweg 3 - Von Holzminden nach Hameln

On the third stage we leave Holzminden towards Hameln. I'm happy to repeat myself, because the weather is again great. Shortly after Holzminden, the most beautiful section of the entire tour begins for me. With the Weser on the left, we cycle on a relatively narrow, flat path lined with flowering plants (wild carrot, mallow, cornflower, etc.), gorgeous! I will …
