Frequently Asked Questions
At the Weser riverside promenade, at the foot of the old centre. The centre is five minutes walk away, and the whole visit is then done on foot, with no transport or detour.
A marked 3.3 km route lined with bear paw prints painted or cast in bronze into the pavements. The bear appears on the town coat of arms; you simply follow the tracks to tour the town.
Follow the bear trail, visit the Fresenhof regional museum, look into St Martin church, then loop back along the riverside promenade. All of it on flat ground.
A large sixteenth-century half-timbered house in the heart of the old quarter, home to the regional museum: archaeology, furniture and river trades. The collections are surprisingly well cared for in a town this size.
Because the sandy soils nearby suit it so well that an entire exhibition house is devoted to it, the only one in Lower Saxony. It covers the history of white gold, its tools and its rituals.
April to the end of June. Outside that window local tables do not serve it fresh and only the museum keeps the nostalgia alive. Worth knowing before building a day around it.
The historic town hall with its ornate Weser Renaissance gable, the carved beams of the merchant houses, and the Lower Saxony police museum in town. You do not expect to find it there, which is exactly what makes it interesting.
Yes. Counting bear prints keeps children busy the whole way, the Italian ice-cream shop on the main street does the rest, and the flat riverbanks suit pushchairs.
The euro, and bring cash. In a town this size, several patisseries, market stalls and small shops do not take cards.
Yes to both. The Weser cycle route runs along the banks and draws cyclists by the hundred in fine weather; local excursion boats offer commentated trips on the river.
