Weser Cycle Route, 2nd stage: From Höxter to Hamelin

Höxter → Hameln

The town of Höxter combines picturesque half-timbered houses and medieval alleys with a lively city center. A little further north, directly on the route, is the UNESCO World Heritage Site Corvey. Continuing along the Weser brings you to Holzminden, also known as the "City of Scents and Flavors," and to Weser Renaissance castle Bevern. From there, it continues to Polle, where you can change Weser sides with the reaction ferry. Cinderella lives at Everstein Castle. Through the Rühler Schweiz, you reach Bodenwerder, the home of Baron von Münchhausen. Via Daspe, the Weser cycling route leads to the small village of Grohnde. Here it is worth switching Weser sides again with the reaction ferry to take a detour to the magnificent Hämelschenburg. To Emmerthal, it is only a short distance, from where the path leads via Tündern to Hamelin. The historic old town scores with restored half-timbered and Weser Renaissance houses.
