A beautiful stretch of road almost directly along the Weser. It is worth the small bike paths near the Weser to use.

After this morning visit at Hameln, we wanted to finish the tour, which we had started on August 31st and stopped because of the rain. Nice bike route, sunny, and only 10 minutes of rain. Another great day in Germany.
