April 27, 2025,Ratten-Steine 🐀 – Alte Marktstraße Runde von Hameln

A crisscrossing tour through Hameln—a very attractive way to get to know Hameln, given the weather. The journey was well worth it. Then came the reward: the return journey took us through the Lippe hills, reminiscent of my old motorcycle days.

It's hard to believe, but apart from the old blisters I have no problems after the 100km.

Still made a round through Hamelin, quite nice here.

Arrived safely at home, greetings to you all!

A lovely walk through the town, which is entirely dedicated to the famous Pied Piper legend, took us to the most important sights - partly via the rat trail - small stones with rats embedded in the pavement.

May 24, 2026,Runde durch Hameln mit Mann und zwei Töchtern

The old town of Hameln is really pretty. The daughters and the husband spent a lot of time in the vinyl antiquarian shop 😅, otherwise we had coffee at "Die Barista" and walked around the Münster St. Bonifatius once looking for the entrance, unfortunately it was closed. According to Trip Advisor, it is supposed to be beautifully painted inside 🤷🏼 …

August 21, 2025,Bummel durch Hameln mit Kirchturmbesteigung

At one point, Komoot was on and was recording stupidly. I thought the ascent and descent of the church tower should actually be a peak in elevation gain.
It's a beautiful town with lots of half-timbered houses.
