The short camper trip took us along the German Fairy Tale Route, along the Weser cycle path from the Pied Piper town of Hamelin via Nienburg (with a stopover in Porta Westfalica) to Bremen.

Stellplatz Marina Mehlbergen
Small, very inexpensive parking space at a marina in Balge, OT Mehlbergen (approx. 9 km from the center of Nienburg). Beautifully located directly on the Weser, the pitch also has no gray water disposal.
Highlights on the Weser cycle path are the nearby town of Nienburg with its beautiful old town and the Lower Saxony Police Museum, as well as the small town of Hoya and the Weser lock in Drakenburg.

Stellplatz Am Kuhhirten, Bremen (19.06. - 21.06.2022)
Parking space close to the center (1.3 km) near the Weser Stadium and a former excursion restaurant (today the Hotel "Zum Kuhhirten"). The spacious and always well-utilized parking space has complete supply and disposal, including TV connection on the parking space. Unfortunately, the pricing is very non-transparent, so that the cheap €17 per night can quickly become €15 if you want to take a shower and fill up with fresh water and need shore power (€0.60/KWh).
Highlights are the Bremen city center with cathedral, town hall, Roland and Bremen Town Musician as well as the Weser Speerwerk in Bremen-Hastedt, which was newly built in 2011. A visit to the Paulaner beer garden near the Weser barrage is also worthwhile.
