Paseo rápido en bici de Porta Westfalica a Minden

This is a pleasant, easy-going ride between two historic Westphalian towns! Starting at Porta Westfalica, which gets its name from the "Gate to Westphalia" formed by the Weser River cutting through the hills—look out for the famous Kaiser Wilhelm Monument towering above the landscape. The route is super bike-friendly, with most of it on smooth asphalt or cycleways, and barely any hills to worry about (just over 30 meters of climbing and descent).

Cruise north along mostly quiet roads and well-maintained cycleways. As you approach Minden, you’ll notice the flat countryside opening up. Minden itself is known for its impressive waterway engineering—check out the Minden Aqueduct, where the Mittelland Canal passes over the Weser River.

At just under 8 km, this ride is ideal for a relaxed afternoon, with plenty to discover at both ends. Perfect for history lovers and easy-going cyclists alike!
