July 3, 2024,🇩🇪 Weserradweg #3: Von Nienburg/Weser nach Rinteln

Today we reached the stage destination of Rinteln before the big rain clouds arrived and so we cycled in the dry. Beautiful tour, often along the Weser, but also past varied barn districts, through beautiful Minden and with a view of the Kaiser Wilhelm monument near Porta Westfalica.

Today is day 3. We slept in a little longer, and breakfast wasn't until 6:30 a.m. We set off at 7:30 a.m. We arrived in Nienburg today, dry.

Summary: This day didn't appeal to us at all. We didn't see much of the Weser River today. We could have done the cross-country trip in Friesland. We'll see what awaits us …

September 5, 2022,Tag 2 und 3 unserer Wesertour

Hello, I'll start with yesterday. Unfortunately I forgot to record the tour. It went from Höxter to Rinteln. It was a great tour with many highlights. The route was almost 100 km long and wonderful to drive. I added some photos from yesterday. In Rinteln we had a very nice hotel to sleep in. The town really has something to …

Second day and partly better bike paths. Very nice to drive from Minden in the direction of Porta and close to the Weser! The rest of the bike path was so-so! I wouldn't subscribe to Premium Cycle Path. Always compare with the Moselle Cycle Path, which I believe to be the flagship cycle path

September 3, 2024,Weser-Radweg, Etappe 3 bis Campingplatz Drakenburg🥵🥰😃☀️🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏞️🏕️🛥️

The Dragenburg campsite is simply great, a really brilliant tip near the Weser cycle path, the facilities are perfect for cyclists, the sanitary facilities are clean but outdated, but that doesn't matter, normal sockets, money can be put in the mailbox on site. Everything is self-explanatory. There are also permanent campers here with and without boats, yes I am impressed🥳. …

June 25, 2025,Rinteln _ Drakenburg 🚴🏼‍♂️🙂

A wonderful morning with plenty of sunshine and a tailwind. I really liked Minden, and the waterway junction is quite impressive. But I also passed through small, charming towns with beautiful farms along the way. The Schluesselburg barn district was also interesting. Tomorrow is the final day, with Bremen as our destination.

June 10, 2022,Weserradweg 3 Rinteln - Drakenburg

The 3rd stage took me from Rinteln to the Drakenburg campsite.

From Rinteln to Minden, it was mainly on roads with and without cycle paths along the Weser.

The most beautiful part of the Weser cycle path was from Minden to Petershagen, here I was able to cycle directly along the Weser on good cycle paths.
