May 11, 2025,Radeln entlang der Weser

What a day. The weather was perfect, and the people's faces matched it. We cycle along the Weser River, surrounded by many happy faces. Is this Germany? Even various restaurants are open and offering their services. Along the way, it becomes clear to us that we have to cycle the Weser Cycle Route again. First, we have to get used …

After always arriving a little later than the rain in the last few days, today it followed us, showering us with repeated showers. Instead of starting from Lahde as planned, we started from Minden and rode a beautiful stretch along the Weser Cycle Path. The route was shortened because of the rain. We needed everything we had with us: a …

My destination today was the Schachtschleuse in Minden. Lots of beautiful and surprising motifs along the way. Great weather: clouds and sun. Noticeable wind from the northwest. Surprise: the imagination of the bridge architects! A tour like this is the best "sleeping pill"

Ship mills in Minden
The first documented mention of Minden ship mills dates back to 1326, when the city leased six berths for ship mills on the Weser. This makes Minden one of the oldest ship mill locations in Germany.
