Weser Cycle Path, 1st Stage: From Hann. Münden to Höxter

Hann. Münden → Höxter

From Hann. Münden, you cycle northwards to Hemeln and continue directly along the river via Bursfelde to Oberweser. The main route of the Weser Cycle Path runs along the right bank—mostly directly along the Weser and amidst pristine nature with great views. You pass through the picturesque Lippoldsberg and Bodenfelde. Further north in Wahmbeck, the reaction ferry—operating only with the power of the water—carries you across the river. Afterwards, you reach the Baroque town of Bad Karlshafen, which invites you to pause with historical sights and the "Weser-Therme." Beverungen presents itself as a place with a lively past in a very colorful half-timbered style. In Wehrden, it is worth crossing from the main route of the Weser Cycle Path to the alternative route on the right Weser side by ferry to visit Fürstenberg Castle, which towers fairy-tale-like above the Weser Valley. The stage's destination is the half-timbered town of Höxter with numerous sights.
