Itinerary

Individual journey to Bremen. Information meeting and bike handover (if booked) in the late afternoon.

You will then have the opportunity to take a stroll through the historic city centre.

Follow the Weser cycle path northwards. You cycle from Bremen to Bremerhaven, either along the Weser. Via Brake, Nordenham and onwards with the Blexen ferry (not included in the price) to Bremerhaven with its extensive harbour facilities, the Emigration Centre and the German Maritime Museum.

Or you can cycle the direct route (approx. 70 km / 43 mi).

Enjoy the colourful and lively impressions on this cycle stage. On tarmac paths and small roads through the Land Wursten before you reach Cuxhaven's dune coast and the famous harbour town.

With fresh sea air in your nose, you cycle along small roads and country lanes to the spa town of Bad Bederkesa. A beautiful bathing lake provides a refreshing dip after your cycle tour.

Along the Oste to 1000-year-old Stade with its historic town hall and town houses from the 16th and 17th centuries. The ‘most beautiful’ crane in Germany and the old ‘tree house’, a customs station with a barrier, are also a valuable part of the old town centre.

An extensive cycle tour through the largest closed fruit-growing area in Europe. Stately manor houses and well-kept farms accompany you to the municipality of Jork with its ‘Altländer half-timbered houses’ and the Gräfenhof - today's town hall. Today's stage ends in Buxtehude, the ‘town of fables and muses’.

On the Hamburg - Bremen cycle route, you can enjoy pure cycling pleasure and reach Zeven, also known as the ‘town on the forest’, via Hollenstedt and Sittensen.

After breakfast, individual return journey or start of your extension.
