Weser Cycle Path, 3rd Stage: From Hameln to Minden

Hameln → Minden

The old town of Hameln with its Weser Renaissance and half-timbered houses in the small, mysterious alleys will impress you. From Fischbecker Straße, the route continues north along the main route to the Fischbeck Foundation in Hessisch Oldendorf. Enchantingly beautiful, one of the oldest women's convents in the region is presented here. The route then continues via Großenwieden to the colorful half-timbered town of Rinteln. Narrow alleys, picturesque corners and entire rows of colorful half-timbered houses can be admired in the former university and fortress town of Rinteln. From Rinteln's city center, the main route of the Weser Cycle Path leads you to the water paradise Doktorsee. From Doktorsee, the main and alternative routes continue north via Vlotho and Bad Oeynhausen to Porta Westfalica. Here, the monumental Kaiser Wilhelm monument towers over the Weser and marks the transition from the Weser Uplands to the North German Plain. The stage destination is reached in Minden.
