Bridge cycle path

It could easily happen to you like the Bremen Town Musicians, who never arrived at the Weser. Because already at the starting point of the Bridge Cycle Path in Osnabrück, there is so much to see that you could almost forget to start cycling. The Town Hall of the Westphalian Peace on the historic market square, the Erich Maria Remarque Peace Center, and the Museum for the painter Felix Nussbaum designed by star architect Daniel Libeskind, for example. Not to forget the Museum am Schölerberg, which offers an exciting view of the first stages of your journey - and therefore worth the little detour.
The exhibition vividly shows how the landscapes of the region formed over 300 million years of Earth's history. It's hard to believe that tropical oceans and ice age glaciers played a role in this process.
Also in the nature parks Dümmer and Wildeshauser Geest, you can get background information on the landscape experience in exhibitions. This way, you can enjoy the tour from the northwesternmost low mountain range in Germany past Lake Dümmer and over the ice age ridges around Wildeshausen to the typical North German marshland just before Bremen even more intensively. A must-see for historically interested visitors is the site of the Varus Battle. In the further course of the route, it's not always about world history, but you will experience everyday life of past eras up close at the Linnenschmidt Water Mill and the Iron Age House in Venne.
You will learn that Twistringen was once the heart of the straw processing industry. Bestsellers were drinking straws and hats - the world's largest "circular saw" hat with a diameter of five and a half meters is a reminder of that.
On the other hand, you will see how those who made money in dishonest ways fared, at the former Arsenal of the Citadel of Vechta: The Prison Museum shows the 900-year history of penitentiary. Although it doesn't lead to the Land of the Free, but only to the Harpstedt district of America, the Ocean Bridge shortly before Bremen is still an impressive structure, as it offers the only way to cross the swampy Delmetal on dry land. From a safe height, it offers exciting insights into the wetland habitat. From the swamp to the pavement of the Old Town of Bremen - if the donkey, dog, cat, and rooster knew what they missed here: The bronze sculpture of the Town Musicians stands right next to the famous Bremen Town Hall. Enjoy the diverse range of Bremen's gastronomy. Once well-fed, you can then cycle back to Osnabrück via the second route.
