Day devoid of cars on the route connecting Bodenwerder to Rinteln
Celebrating in Bike-Friendly Weser Uplands: The Felgenfest Takeover
Heads up! The charming towns of Rinteln and Bodenwerder along the Weser river experienced some major traffic disruptions on Sunday. Federal and state roads were shut down for motor vehicles, but all was set for a grand celebration known as the "Felgenfest".
This annual event welcomed cyclists, skaters, and pedestrians to fill the car-free streets and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. With an estimated 60,000 guests expected, it was indeed a bustling spectacle of live music, village festivals, farmers' markets, and merrymakers of all kinds!
Breaking down barriers, this event brought together the solidarity of the German and British communities as evidenced by the impressive ponton bridge constructed over the Weser in Großenwieden. But, fear not if you found the 55-kilometer route a tad too taxing - steamship rides were available for those who needed a breather! They even offered complimentary transportation for bicycles onboard.
The detours for motorists might have caused some minor inconvenience, but with well-marked alternative routes, it certainly didn't dampen the spirited party. Come evening, the streets were reopened to their four-wheeled residents once more.

Here's a quick insider's guide to this cycling paradise: sit back, relax, and let the beautiful Weser Cycle Path (Weserradweg) serenade your senses as it winds through charming villages, castles, museums, and breathtaking landscapes.
