Oberweser: River idyll at the Lippoldsberg ferry. This motif shows very nicely what defines the beauty of the Hessian / Lower Saxony Weser Valley as a natural and cultural landscape: A wide, still largely undeveloped river valley with lush green meadows, the free flowing Weser with a cable ferry and the characteristic horizon with the elongated, wooded ridges of the Low mountain range (here in the back right the Reinhardswald).
