Weser Route Minden

Enjoy the tranquillity and nature on a walk along the Weser and Bastau in Minden.

The approximately 2.6 km long Weser-Bastau-Weg begins on the Mindener Weserpromenade at the level of the Mindener Fahrgastschifffahrt jetty. You walk along the banks of the Weser and enjoy the view of the water. On the opposite side of the Weser, you will see Minden's Kanzlers Weide fairground, which can also be used by motorhomers all year round. You will then pass the originally reconstructed Schiffmühle Minden. Behind the Weser Stadium, you enter the so-called Glacis, Minden's green lung. You walk along the Bastau river to the Weser pedestrian bridge. Then it's back along the Weser to Minden's historic fishing town.
The walk ends at the "Saturn" of the Planetary Trail.
