Saddle-Sure & Seaworthy
The 3 Most Scenic Bike & Boat Routes along the Weser
Between Weser Winds and Pedal Power:
The Best of Both Worlds
Whether a leisurely 30-kilometre ride for the whole family or the sporty 47-km loop – with our „Shore Leave Specials“, the breeze in your face is always included. Anyone who really wants to experience Bremen and its surroundings has to feel the water and ride the land. Our combined bike and ship tours give you exactly that freedom: we bring you and your bike comfortably to the region’s most beautiful starting points, or pick you up after an eventful day in the saddle.
While the Weser landscape glides past, you can recharge on board, enjoy a generous breakfast or look back on the day with a cold drink in hand. No struggle with headwinds, no hunting for parking – just pure inspiration for your next outing.
