From there, we returned to our starting point in Rinteln, where we were guided through the city center. Leaving Rinteln behind us, we headed towards the Weser ferry in …

Cycle tourism routes with the designation "Churches & Monasteries" probably exist in Germany in various variations. In the district of Schaumburg alone, two such paths are advertised with detailed brochures. One leads from Haste to Schwarmstedt and could be connected to the starting point by using the train. The other is a circular route and begins at the Rinteln train …

A special highlight is the Weser ferry near Großenwieden. The tour takes us via Hessisch Oldendorf and Fischbeck back to the starting point in Rinteln.
Conclusion: A really great cycle path with no incline …

Tour no. 5 took us to picturesque Rinteln, a city that you have to visit! The route is based on the recommendation "Faith Paths in the Weserbergland" of the WeserberLand Tourismus e.V. ("Cycling").
We parked north of Hameln at a nursery near the B83 and drove a counter-clockwise circuit from Fischbeck, halfway through Rinteln. Of course, Fischbeck Abbey had to …

Today the destination of the bike tour was Möllenbeck Monastery. A very well-preserved and well-kept complex. The monastery cafe also made a good impression. Due to the good weather, the café was very busy. We avoided waiting and went to the bodega in Rinteln.
