Landrat Petersen Bridge (Eisbergen)

Highlight • Bridge

The road "Aue" leads in icebergs with a narrow bridge of steel over the Weser. The view of the river is great and below the bridge are a pier and a lawn with barbecue hut.

Veltheim Windmill

Highlight • Monument

The Veltheim windmill from 1903 is a Wallhollander with sails and wind rose (dummy). Your grinder is now operated with a motor and used for grinding for your own use.

Cycle Path Near Rehme

Highlight • Cycleway

To start a tour along the Weser, the free nature park in the Great Weser bend near the Southern Lake is a good option.

Weser cycle path at the Werre-Weser-Kuss

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here I prefer to drive at off-peak times (very early or very late) and during the week when it's not so crowded here. It is precisely the great routing directly on the Weser that makes this route so attractive. To date, this has been countered by the fact that the section between the "Altes Fährhaus" and the railway bridge is very narrow and bumpy. It is planned that this section will be expanded and modernized in line with requirements in the foreseeable future. Hopefully soon!
