Special features of camping in the Weserbergland

The selection of campsites in the Weserbergland ranges from simple facilities to 4-star classification. Thanks to the wide range of offers and the different types of facilities, the campsites meet the most diverse requirements of campers at all times - an individual holiday is possible here, especially for couples, friends and families. Camping in the Weserbergland is possible from March, in some cases from April to October. Some campsite owners even open all year round.

Most campsites in the Weserbergland are idyllically situated on the banks of the Weser, while some others are in the forest or picturesque by a lake. Some operators offer their guests shopping facilities, restaurants and children's playgrounds. Dogs are also welcome at most campsites.

How to get there

Although the Weserbergland is not stingy with its scenic beauty and natural surroundings, it is very well connected to the German motorway network. Travellers from the south follow the A7 motorway. The southern section of the Weserbergland begins around 26 km after the Lohfeldener Rüssel motorway service station near Kassel. Campers from northern Germany drive towards Hanover or Osnabrück and from there take the A2 motorway to the northern Weserbergland near Rinteln, Porta Westfalica and Bad Oeynhausen. The distance from Hamburg, Frankfurt am Main and Stuttgart to Hamelin is 205 km, 317 km and 480 km respectively.

Coming from the east, the route passes Magdeburg, Braunschweig and Hanover. The Weserbergland begins 14 km after the Auetal motorway service area. Campers travelling from the west follow the A2 in the opposite direction via Dortmund and Bielefeld or take the A44 to Paderborn. From Leipzig, Berlin and Bonn, the distance to Hamelin is 331 km, 323 km and 288 km respectively. Within the Weserbergland, the destinations and towns can be easily reached via the B1, B80 or B217 motorways. The longest distance in the region is 193 km from Porta Westfalica to Hannoversch Münden.

Destinations in the Weserbergland

This diverse holiday region is aimed at history buffs, nature lovers and active travellers alike. When travelling through the Weserbergland, you will come across traditional spa towns such as Bad Pyrmont, Bad Eilsen or Bad Münder and historical sites such as Bückeburg Castle, the cliffs of Hohenstein or the Sleeping Beauty Castle Sababurg. Or how about a tour of pretty half-timbered towns such as Hameln, Lügde and Hannoversch Münden?

Bad Pyrmont

The spa gardens in the Lower Saxon state spa have been recognised several times as one of the most beautiful of its kind in Europe, with palm-lined avenues and beautiful gardens creating an oasis of tranquillity. No less impressive: the 18th century Renaissance castle and the 320 metre high viewing platform on the Spelunkenturm.

Hamelin

The famous town of the Pied Piper is known far beyond the borders of the country. In addition to the tales of the Brothers Grimm, Hamelin also has a fascinating medieval old town, a museum of the town's history and the Gothic St Boniface's Church, which houses a Romanesque crypt inside.

Bad Münder

Just outside Hanover, Bad Münder has made a name for itself as a town of healing springs. The town can look back on almost 1,000 years of salt production. It is therefore not surprising that one of the most important buildings is the graduation tower in the beautifully landscaped spa gardens, where visitors can really take a deep breath.

Activities and excursions

Picturesque vantage points, spacious animal parks, family-friendly adventure worlds and a wealth of sights characterise the Weserbergland.

Cycling

The Weserbergland is an extremely cycle-friendly region, with the 520-kilometre Weser Cycle Path running through it. If you don't want to cycle quite so far, simply follow the 16 designated circular tours, which cover a maximum of 95 kilometres.

Hiking

Hiking enthusiasts can experience the beautiful countryside on the 225 km long Weserbergland Trail. Of course, the route can also be explored in stages, for example from Rinteln to Porta Westfalica. Or how about a trekking tour on the Ith-Hils Trail?

Swimming

On warm days, a dozen bathing lakes tempt you to spend a relaxing day by the water. The Humboldt Lake near Hameln and the Doktorsee in Rinteln are among the most popular swimming spots. There are also countless indoor and leisure pools.

Worth seeing

Lovingly restored half-timbered houses in the Weser Renaissance style, castles, fortresses and lots of fairy tales surround the places worth seeing in the Weser Uplands. The birthplace of Münchhausen and the traces of the Pied Piper of Hamelin are among the most popular excursion destinations.

Gastronomy

Down-to-earth, rustic and hearty - that's the cuisine in the Weserbergland. Hearty game dishes such as venison roulade are high on the menu. The shoulder of ox and fillet of pork are served with crispy roast potatoes, a dark gravy and fresh beans.

Fish dishes are also extremely popular in the restaurants to the left and right of the Weser, with trout Mullerin style, eel and salmon with parsley potatoes proving very popular. A freshly tapped Pilsner or a glass of wine is ordered to go with it. A "Klarer" rounds off the sumptuous meal at the end. Between lunch and dinner, a cup of coffee and a slice of cake, for example an apple or plum crumble with or without cream, are a must.

Best time to travel

The months from May to September are the most popular travel period for a camping holiday in the Weserbergland, as this is when the region experiences the best weather. Temperatures average between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius. If you want to combine your stay with a swimming holiday, the warmest time is in July or August. This is when the lakes consistently measure a refreshing 20 degrees Celsius.

While spring and autumn are recommended for trips outside the high season or for sporting activities, the cooler winter days also have their charm. The pre-Christmas period can be enjoyed particularly intensively in the decorated town squares and the idyllic landscape of the mountain ranges.
