Along the Weser cycle path, you will make your way to the Westphalian gateway - the Porta Westfalica with the Kaiser Wilhelm monument, including the newly constructed ring terrace and visitor center. From up here, you have an unobstructed and impressive view of the Minden region.
Your tour starts at the tourist information office in Minden, where you can pick up maps for this and other tours in Mindener Land. The ride begins in the direction of Glacis - Minden's so-called green lung and takes you along the Weser cycle path past the Schiffmühle, the summer swimming pool and a military area. You continue to follow the signs towards Porta Westfalica. Your route takes you past a tennis court, behind which you take the next exit onto Aulhausener Weg. Now turn left into Alte Poststraße and immediately right into Lannertstraße. Now take a good swing over Portastrasse, because from now on it's uphill. The winding Kaiserstraße leads you to your destination: the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument.
From up here, you have a wonderful view of the entire surrounding area.
