Enjoy the peace and nature on a walk along the Weser and Bastau in Minden.

The approximately 2.6 km long Weser-Bastau-Weg begins on the Minden Weser promenade near the Minden passenger boat jetty. You walk along the banks of the Weser and enjoy the view of the water. On the opposite side of the Weser, you will see Minden's Kanzlers Weide fairground, which can also be used by campers all year round. You then pass the original reconstructed Minden ship mill. Behind the Weser stadium, you enter the so-called Glacis, Minden's green lung. You walk along the Bastau to the Weser pedestrian bridge. Then it's back along the Weser to Minden's historic fishing town.
The walk ends at the "Saturn" of the planetary path.
