Auszeit Lecker Landimbiss - Brevörde / Grave, right on the Weser River, open only during the summer months, serves wonderful burgers made with beef from their own organic cattle. I spent my childhood and youth there; it's a beautiful area, indeed the most beautiful stretch of the entire Weser with its many river bends and the Steinmühle (also known as the "Devil's Mill"). It was once featured on the cover of the Esso road map in the 1950s. Above it is the Senator Meyer Monument with a magical view of the Weser bend – unfortunately, the monument is no longer maintained. As far as I know, it now belongs to Bodenwerder, which is a shame! There used to be a lovely hiking trail up to the monument, but the road authority, responsible for the B 83 highway, simply closed it off.

It's always impressive to drive along here, despite the car traffic. The other side is quieter.
