The 49 km long and signposted cycle tour leads to places of interesting economic sectors & various historical transport routes - suitable for more experienced cyclists

The eastern part of the district has always been characterized by Vlotho's convenient location on the Weser. Indispensable as a transportation route, numerous companies settled near the port. Rails and roads were added, the special features of which are presented along with a number of interesting industries.
