On to the Weserradweg!

This is a nice river to follow along into the heartland. Nice to go past houses I have previously lived in over the many years.
First break
2024年3月6日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
A first break after cycling along the wind. Is it always only really headwinds? :-) Feeling good on the bike though, this is nice to be on the move - and enjoying a nice home made sandwich!

First camp

Nice little spot by the river, just off Verden. This is within sniffing distance of where my bicycle was manufactured, I think in Hoya.

Hartje, where my bicycle Schopper was built, turns out to be on the Weserradweg. Coincidence?

So many birds all around. Will have to keep my binoculars handy.
Mission Minden!

Made it to Minden, the promised land of the outdoor shop, with 20 minutes to spare. Snapped up a new exped, and the guy was good enough to throw in a neat discount.

With no good places visible, and no place to camp and it being already dark, I figured I should worry. But that's difficult on a full stomach. So I just thanked Schopper for being a champ and rodeもっと詳しく

Clear skies, dry night, and a full hip flask. This is a great camp feeling!

Weird tree this all over the place. With no leaves, but spherical clumps of green. Not sure what this is.
Ferry on line

Enjoying the big industrial structures standing out over the green plains. Here in Hamelin, the "sluices" make a nice swirley whirley pattern
Nuclear Night

The twin towers of the nuclear power station stand out over the surrounding plains, green and innocuous. I'm not in a protest, but I'm camping here anyway in the warm light of German sustainableもっと詳しく
