March 26, 2026, Mittelland Canal Crossing the Weser

This structure is a must-see. A boat trip is offered, during which you travel along the intersection from the canal side as well as the river side.

The large square at the Stolzenau harbor and jetty is officially called "Löschplatz" (fire site) (presumably because this is where cargo was once unloaded from ships on the Weser and/or transferred to road vehicles). Today, ships still dock here, but the site is currently used primarily for tourism, with cyclists, walkers, and day-trippers. No wonder, given the magnificent view of the Weser and the nearby Weser Bridge (currently, both the old and new bridges can be seen simultaneously). Several benches overlooking the Weser invite you to take a break. Part of the "Löschplatz" is used as an official parking space for RVs. The access to the neighboring campsite also leads through the "Löschplatz." Otherwise, the beautiful, large site is thankfully largely car-free.

The view of the Große Aue is simply magnificent. Stop for a moment and enjoy.

For ships, not for mountain bikes.

Still closed in July 2025!!! It'll probably last until at least December 2025😔. Then the next cycling season will be over. Unbelievable.

If, like me, you come from a region where there are streams instead of rivers, the sight of a cargo ship in a lock is always something special.🙋

A wonderful church, built after the Reformation. Note the column of worship, the memorial plaque for the deceased, and the baptismal font.
