In the half-timbered town of Hann. Münden, where the "Werra and Fulda kiss," the Weser is formed. This is where the Weser Cycle Path begins, winding along one of Germany's most important rivers. Following the river's bends, you cycle northwards to Hemeln. The route continues directly along the river through Bursfelde with its former Benedictine monastery to Oberweser. Even the Brothers Grimm spent their holidays here and drew inspiration from the community. For example, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs call this place home. The main route of the Weser Cycle Path runs along the right bank. Along pristine nature, the cycle path meanders here mostly directly along the Weser. At certain points, you will find stunning views into the Weser Valley. A short stop is worthwhile in Lippoldsberg. The village lies in a picturesque valley basin, surrounded by extensive forest areas of the Reinhardswald, the Bramwald, and the Solling-Vogler Nature Park. The Benedictine nuns' monastery there was founded in the 11th century.
From Lippoldsberg, it is just a stone's throw to Bodenfelde, where the cycle path runs directly along the Weser promenade. Further north in Wahmbeck, you will experience a touch of nostalgia on the Weser. As in old times, the reaction ferry transports cyclists and vehicles safely across the river using only the power of the water. A convenient way to switch the Weser side to the alternative route by bike. Next, you reach the Baroque town of Bad Karlshafen, which invites you to pause with its historic town hall, the German Huguenot Museum, and the wellness oasis "Weser-Therme." Built by Landgrave Carl of Hesse around 1700, Bad Karlshafen is considered one of the gems of the Weser Uplands. The next stop on your Weser Cycle Path tour is the charming town of Beverungen. The former farming citizens' town presents itself as a place with a lively past in an exceedingly colorful half-timbered style. Friendly Weserland gastronomy and a varied range of holiday and leisure offers provide young and old with diverse variety. 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. The destination is Fürstenberg Castle, which towers fairy-tale-like above the Weser Valley. Fürstenberg Castle is a Weser Renaissance monument and at the same time the seat of the world-famous porcelain manufactory with the trademark blue "F." The stage's destination is the half-timbered town of Höxter. Noteworthy sights in Höxter include the venerable UNESCO World Heritage Site Corvey, located directly on the Weser Cycle Path, as well as the Jacob Pins Forum in the historic ambiance of a noble estate.
