Water hiking on the Weser - Wasserwandern auf der Weser

The Water hiking route on the Weser leads from Hann. Münden above Minden to Bremerhaven to the mouth of the Weser in the North Sea.

background

Confluence of the Werra and Fulda to the Weser

The Weser is considered one of the most popular paddling rivers in Germany. Due to the ideal conditions - in the area of ​​the Oberweser with a flow speed of 4-5 km / h and free of weirs and transfer points - it is also a suitable area for beginners. The Weser is not only easy to navigate with canoes or kayaks, it is also suitable for rowers. In addition, the Weser is also approved for motor boats.

Weser in Hameln

The Upper Weser of Hann. Münden to Minden can be driven through weirs without hindrance, so all locations are suitable as deployment sites, depending on how long you want to extend your tour. From half-day tours with return transport of the boat by the boat rental company to a self-organized two-week leisurely tour of the Oberweser and, if necessary, further towards the Mittelweser, you have all the options here.

The varied landscape of the Weser Valley, which cuts through the last mountain ranges before the north German lowlands, makes the drive on the Oberweser just as attractive as the many small villages, half-timbered towns, former monasteries and monuments on the shore. Thematically accompanies the German fairy tale route the Upper Weser on longer stretches, but the Weser Valley was also the place of origin of numerous legends and myths, some of which are still remembered in the neighboring towns today.

Weser in Bremen

As Mittelweser becomes the Weser in its section from Minden to Bremer Weserwehr called. There are some barrages and lock canals to overcome.

View of the Outer Weser near Bremerhaven

From Bremen the Weser flows into the North Sea as Lower Weser referred to, the mouth area in the North Sea then as Outer Weser. Here, as a boat traveler, one encounters tidal range and heavy traffic from shipping, so that additional challenges arise here and more experience and knowledge are required.

preparation

Boat material: If you don't own a boat, you should contact one of the boat rental companies, which are particularly well represented on the Oberweser. Here you should make sure that you get a thorough briefing on the material, rules of driving and, if necessary, compliance with driving bans / protected areas. If you don't get this as an inexperienced paddler, you should look for another boat rental company!

equipment: The required equipment in terms of clothing, safety equipment, provisions, etc. is of course largely dependent on your own requirements and the duration of the tour. Anyone who goes on a multi-day paddling tour with self-sufficiency will of course need a greater amount of equipment than paddlers on a half-day tour with a stop in the beer garden. The relevant specialist forums such as the German Canoe Association or that Folding boat wiki helpful. In the interests of your own safety and that of possible rescuers, it is advisable to wear a life jacket / buoyancy aid even on a body of water such as the Weser.

Accommodation and meals: Most water hikers who go paddling on a longer tour on the Weser take camping equipment with them. Those who travel with their own tent have plenty of options for overnight stays, especially on the Oberweser. Numerous campsites have adapted to canoeists, as have most of the boat clubs, which allow boat travelers to spend the night on the club premises, possibly also in the boathouse, for a lower fee than the campsites and sometimes only by prior arrangement. Accommodation options for boat travelers with tents are listed in this article as well as restaurants and accommodation establishments outside of towns directly on the river. Those who prefer permanent accommodation can find relevant information in the linked local articles.

The density of overnight accommodations decreases rapidly from Hameln, from Minden the necessary stages for travelers with tents to the next official overnight stay are sometimes quite long, so alternatives have to be considered.

Yellow wave

The yellow wave canoe: Since 2006 there are storage and resting places for canoeists on the Weser with the symbol of Yellow wave excellent, which is increasingly being introduced throughout Germany as a guidance system for water hikers. It is used to designate moorings that have specially adapted to the needs of canoeists, usually have extra jetties, some as pontoon jetties, and are often equipped with rest areas and toilets.

Canoe rental

Canoe rental companies can be found in, among other places, seen downstream in Hann. Münden, Bad Karlshafen, Corvey, Grohnde, Hamelin, Grossenwieden

getting there

Arrival in Oberweser

Since there is a deployment point at practically every smaller place, especially on the Oberweser, the journey depends on individual preferences and the transport options for the boat. Folding bot drivers are more flexible here, as they can travel by train and bus with all their equipment if necessary. If you leave your car at the starting point and have to collect it yourself after the tour, you need good accessibility by public transport (alternatively, you can bring the car to the intended destination and then return to the start by public transport). This is usually quite possible with the Oberweser, places with a rail connection are (from south to north): Hann. Münden, Bodenfelde, Bad Karlshafen, Beverungen or the train station in the neighboring one Lauenförde, Höxter, Holzminden, Hamelin, Hessian Oldendorf, Rinteln...

Arrival Mittelweser

From Minden, i.e. from the beginning of the Mittelweser at the waterway intersection, the starting points that can be reached by public transport become rarer, as is the number of boat rentals. The best starting point for paddling the Central Weser is of course Minden, then follow Petershagen, Windheim and the Schluesselburg barrage as suitable insertion points.

Rules of conduct on the water

Passenger shipping has right of way

As far as Minden, paddlers, rowers and motorboat riders have free travel when it comes to relocating. Only in Hameln can a barrage be bypassed using a boat slide. In addition, however, numerous rules of conduct must be observed in order to keep an overview in the sometimes lively summer hustle and bustle on boats and passenger and ferry journeys:

  • Commercial shipping has right of way, i.e. both the passenger ships and the ferries on the Oberweser, later also the cargo ships, have to be avoided or as a paddler you have to wait. At the ferries you have to wait until the ferry has moored again on the bank before you pass the place. While passenger shipping dominates the Oberweser, which mainly sails on weekends and to a lesser extent on weekdays, from the waterway intersection in Minden with increasing cargo ship traffic, especially on weekdays.
  • Stand where they are under sail Sailors in second place the right of way. However, you have to reckon with sailing boats first on the Mittelweser Petershagenwhen a quiet section of the Weser begins after the weir, while commercial shipping is led through the lock canal.
  • Muscle-powered boats have right of way over motorized boatswhich the latter do not always know and take to heart. Motor sports boats are the ones that have to avoid everyone else on the Weser.
  • On the Upper Weser There is no general right-hand driving requirement, it is recommended if possible to drive the inner curve when encountering commercial shipping.
  • On the Mittelweser you follow the markings of the fairway, as a paddler you move outside the fairway and only crosses this when driving freely.
  • The signposted ones are often very busy on weekends Water ski and jet ski routes (mostly about 3 km long). Here, as a paddler, you keep as close to the bank as possible and paddle through the section as quickly as possible.
  • The signposted Eel traps must be passed with sufficient distance, as well as the old eel fishing ships after the weirs on the Central Weser.
