Finally, a bike path along a river, one that actually runs right alongside it. (At least here.) And nicely smooth asphalt.

The sight of the Schachtschleuse lock, a gateway to Minden, is sure to impress on the Weser Cycle Path. It's worth seeing!

Scheduled passenger train service on the Minden District Railway was discontinued in 1974. This also led to a decline in rail traffic on the narrow-gauge railway bridge in Minden. Today, the bridge is used by daily freight trains and special services operated by the Minden Museum Railway, which connects its tracks to the main tracks of the Deutsche Bahn network.
