Werre Riverside, Bad Oeynhausen

Highlight • River

It is probably one of the most beautiful sections of the Werre. The boats in front of the weekend houses create a fantastic picture. It's beautiful to ride the bike path on both sides.

Very nice bike tour along the Else and Werre on very good cycle paths. Although you rarely see the Else.

The shopping haul was so-so... at least I bought a new pair of shoes👟 that I can run/hike in really well 😊
On the Else-Werre and Weser cycle paths there were large groups of young and not-so-young men 🚴‍♂️🚴🚴‍♂️🚴...is it Father's Day already🤔?

The starting point is at the beer garden 🍺 Schiffmühle. It first goes along the Weser and at the mouth "Weser-Werre-Kuss" 💋 further on the Werre. Later I drive through the Elseaue in the direction of Bünde, where the tour ends. The Weserradweg 🚴 is also part of this route. The route is very beautiful, great nature and landscape 🏞️, …

Along the Else-Werre cycle path to the Werre-Weser-Kuss.

I couldn't get a spot in the sun for my coffee 😥 but I did see spring ⚘️🪻🌿
Everyone was out and about, with kids and families, young and old.

The Werre cycle path still leaves a lot to be desired, lots of muddy sections.
But that was to be expected, it's not summer yet and with the rain ☔️ of the last few weeks, the sections that were actually gravel have softened.
Conditional is a lot of air up again 🤷 ♂️
