Minden Waterway Crossing

Highlight • Bridge

They are trough bridges. The water of the Mittelland Canal is in the trough of the bridge and ships can sail unhindered across the Weser. The Weser is connected to the canal with locks. The concrete trough bridge from 1914 was blown up by retreating German troops at the end of World War II. In 1949 the reinforced concrete bridge was put into operation. Since the dimensions of the old bridge became too small for the larger ships, a new steel trough bridge was built between 1993 and 1998 to the north as a supplement to the old trough bridge.

Weser Cycle Path with views over the Weser Valley and the Todtenhausen Windmill

Highlight • Cycleway

By Hann. Münden, the Weser Cycle Path follows the narrow loops of the Weser through the Weserbergland.
The Weser cycle path has a special feature: there is no “Weser spring”!
In "Hann. Münden" the rivers "Fulda" and the "Werra" join to form the "Weser".

Rest stop on the Weser Cycle Path at Tonwerk Heisterholz

Highlight • Rest Area

The left side of the Weser between Minden and Petershagen is fantastic. Good surfacing and a constant view of the Weser. Every now and then a barge comes by.

Schlüsselburg barn quarter

Highlight • Historical Site

The Scheunenviertel, which still exists today, in the Schlüsselburg district of Petershagen is a rural cultural asset of supra-regional importance. The oldest of the 26 barns still in existence today can be dated to between 1600 and 1700. The "Humbke", the highest elevation in the area, was chosen as the location. In addition to numerous floods caused by various Weser floods in historical times, a striking number of fires also destroyed the place.

The Scheunenviertel is mostly privately owned. A barn renovated in 2012 now serves as an information barn and provides information about the Scheunenviertel and the work of the "Dat Schünenviertel" association.
