This circular tour connects the two towns of Höxter and Holzminden. It starts in Höxter. From here, you'll cycle leisurely along the Weser River, where you'll soon see the spires of the former Corvey Monastery rising from the trees. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site and definitely worth a visit.

Old Town Höxter

Highlight • Historical Site

The historic old town of Höxter is relatively small, but the half-timbered houses are true works of art.

Great Bend of the Weser at Niederes Feld

Highlight (Segment) • River

In my opinion, the most beautiful section near Holzminden. If you cycle on the other side, you miss something.

July 14, 2023,Höxter, Kloster Corvey, Weser, Holzminden und zurück

Pretty, small afternoon tour close to the Weser along to Holzminden and back. Because of the state garden show in Höxter, part of the Weser cycle path is closed and you have to cycle around the Corvey monastery. Parking is available directly behind the Weser Bridge. Beautiful and wide cycle paths are available over the entire route, otherwise pure nature. …

May 19, 2023,Von Holzminden nach Höxter auf dem Weserradweg - Schloss und Kloster Corvey und Landesgartenschau

Corvey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2013, has been one of my dream destinations for many years. Our short break in the Weserbergland therefore naturally had to include this imposing area (the construction of the westwork of the church dates back to the 9th century). The fact that the city of Höxter with the grounds around the castle is …

July 30, 2024,Besuch meiner Garnisonsstadt Holzminden - von Höxter

In glorious weather, we cycled up and down the Weser - the way back on the Weser cycle path. And totally surrounded by greenery!
And saw my old garrison town of Holzminden again - not to mention Höxter, which is well worth seeing.
I got the route again from Komoot - and adjusted it slightly along the way.

Today, in pleasant temperatures, we're heading to Holzminden, on the right bank of the Weser.

Of course, we'll have ice cream.

Then we'll head back to the left bank of the Weser.

A few photos of our historic roses are attached.

March 28, 2023,Ich wollte doch nur nach Rewe.. 😄😊

Well... I just wanted to go to Rewe for a moment.... When I unlocked the bike after my order 😊 I first drove down to the Weser. Well filled, the beautiful river lay before me. The sun came out and I'm off cycling in the direction of Luchtringen. Really let your soul dangle and just cycle..... 😉 Yes, good ebike …

September 4, 2022,Mit dem E-Bike zum Tretbootfahren!

The tour goes a little further than I recorded, to the end of the lakes. Nice sleep again! 💩🤬 Of course we didn't drive the way back as the crow flies either. 🙈😂 But the route along the Weser is worth it! 😊 When all ferries are running again or the bridges are renovated, you can do even more interesting …
