Never too old for fairytales

Itinerary

Route

Tour Profile / Level 1

Paths are flat throughout the journey, mostly on cycle paths

Day 1: Hann. Münden

Individual arrival. Get here early to have a chance to see the 700+ half-timbered houses in the city, as well as renaissance-era city hall. There is parking at the hotel, and bicycles are also available for rent.

Day 2: Hann. Münden – Beverungen, ca. 55 km

The former Benedictine monastery at Bursfelde, and Oberweser with its open-air milling museum await you.

Day 3: Beverungen – Bodenwerder ca. 59 km

Today your ride takes you along the border of Solling. You’ll pass the Fürstenberg castle, where porcelain is made, before you reach the cloister at Corvey. After that, continue on to the next highlight of the tour: the palace at Bevern, one of the most impressive buildings of the renaissance in Weser.

Day 4: Bodenwerder – Rinteln, ca. 56 km

After leaving Bodenwerder, you’ll be greeted by the picturesque Hämelschenburg, before being captivated by the Pied Piper of Hameln’s song in Hameln.

Day 5: Rinteln – Minden, ca. 41 km

You’ll see Bad Oeynhausen, famous for its "Jordansprudel," the largest carbonated hot spring in the world. But things will get a bit tight (literally!) in the valley at Porta Westfalica, the gateway to Westphalia, before you reach Minden.

Day 6: Minden – Nienburg, ca. 63 km

Here the landscape changes as you enter the Northern German lowlands. Try following the bear tracks through Nienburg’s old city, for a unique way to see the historical sights.

Day 7: Nienburg – Verden, ca. 55 km

On this leg, your ride takes you through little villages filled with red brick houses before you arrive in Verden, famous for its horses. Photo opportunities abound among the broad meadows, windmills, and occasional farmhouses.

Day 8: Verden – Bremen, ca. 56 km

Welcome to Bremen! Perhaps you heard the famous town musicians on your ride in, or maybe it was your imagination. Either way, don’t forget to check out the statue of them in front of the city hall.

Day 9: Bremen

You can leave your rented bike at the hotel you stay in on your last night. Use a train back to Hann. Münden or we can also, by request, extend your trip to Cuxhaven. (see datails below)

Bicycle

Rental bikes

Our 7- or 27-speed-bikes

The robust modern aluminium frame with moulded lower tube guarantees quiet running even in case of high "payload". Same applies to the steel forks. All frames are coated with a long-living and non-polluting powder lacquer showing the typical Velociped green. There are, of course, different types of frame available depending on the size of ladies and gentlemen, as the bike must fit the "rider".

And: all ladies’ bikes have a low opening that makes mounting and dismounting much easier. 

 All 7-speed tourers have wide and comfortable saddles with a cushioning that offers maximum comfort even in an upright position. The seat post has a quick release skewers in order to adjust the saddle size without tools.


E-Bikes | Pedelecs

We use high-quality, sturdy and technically mature FLYER e-bikes produced by the Swiss manufacturers Biketec. The drive of e-bikes can be switched on and off, respectively at the touch of a button – at any time. Thus, you can make use of the motor for ascents or headwind only, or as permanent support enabling you to cover even larger and harder day trips without physical exertion. You’ll always reach your destination rested and relaxed. The Shimano 8-speed hub is equally graded, and the grip shifter ensures easy and smooth handling, also under load. You can therefore always select the optimal speed while at the same time using a smooth motor support.

Power is supplied to the motor by a 36 volt/12 ampere battery according to latest lithium-ion-polymer technology standards. The battery provides support for driving distances of up to approx. 100 km per charge. Recharging takes about 5 hours for completely discharged batteries. It is not necessary to wait until the battery is discharged, recharging is possible at any time.

Attention: Please reserve E-bikes early as they are always depending on availability.


Equipment

Our bikes are equipped with a map holder at the handlebar, a waterproof pannier on the side of the bicylcle rack and a repair kit with a backup inner tube and an emergency kit.


Bringing own bikes

Sure you are invited to bring you own bike which is already fitted best for your needs. Do not forget to bring a repair kit with all necessary tools such as: keys, reserve tube and lock. Please check your own bicycle for operability upon arrival. Please note that we are not liable in case of damage, lost and theft. In case it breaks down, we will of course see to help you.
