Weser Cycle Path Alternative Route, 1st Stage: From Hann. Münden to Höxter

The starting point of this beautiful cycling tour is the town of Hann. Münden with its historic old town, as well as more than 700 half-timbered houses and medieval buildings. The alternative route mostly runs on the left bank of the Weser with only a few ascents and is signposted with the Weser Cycle Path logo with the imprint of the alternative route. From here, you follow the twists and turns of the river and pass through the municipality of Reinhardshagen with its romantic river landscape before heading further north to the village of Gewissenruh. Here you have cycled half of the stage and can enjoy the magnificent view over the Weser Valley. For a break, it is worth stopping with your bike in the Baroque town of Bad Karlshafen with its historical sights and over 1000 years of cultural and religious history. The alternative route continues along the Weser until you cross over to the other side shortly after Herstelle via the bridge. You leave the Weser and ride a stretch along the road and through untouched nature and forest areas to Beverungen. The town presents itself as a half-timbered colorful old town with a diverse landscape. The bike tour now runs through the Solling-Vogler region nature park and past Fürstenberg Castle, which majestically towers above the Weser Valley. It is worth visiting the museum here to discover the extensive collection of the famous Fürstenberg porcelain. After this historical highlight, you cycle to your stage destination in the town of Höxter.
