The Aller valley between Verden and Rethem is ideal for cycling and offers a wealth of impressions with its nature and culture. The Aller Cycle Path runs right through the middle on a circular route with a total length of approx. 55 kilometers.
Always close to the Aller, the route leads through a varied landscape with meadows and pastures of the flat marsh and wooded geest ridges with only a few slight inclines. Between Otersen and Westen, it is possible to cross the Aller using the solar-powered ferry, thus halving the distance.
Sights along the route: the historic town center of Verden with the cathedral, the Domherrenhaus museum and the German Horse Museum, the Eitze watermill, the Amtshaus Westen, the historic Hülsen sheepfold quarter, Londy Park with its windmill, sculpture park and old bakery. Also worth seeing is the ensemble of buildings comprising the town hall, Amtshaus, St. Mary's Church and Rethem Castle.
The tour starts in Verden in the historic town center. From Brückstraße, you cycle along the Alleruferweg along the bulwark to the new cycle bridge and on to Wahnebergen. The route leads via Ahnebergen and Barnstedt to the village of Westen past fields and pastures where you can see numerous storks.
The Amtshaus/Mehrgenerationenhaus in Westen is a good place to take a break. The St. Annen cycle route church is also located here and the "Marie Hoffmann" Solar Aller ferry to Otersen is in the immediate vicinity (note ferry times).
The Aller cycle route now leads along the Aller dyke to Hülsen, then past the 17th/18th century sheepfold quarter and finally along the old narrow-gauge railway line (now cycle path) to Rethem. To continue the circular tour, cycle on to Kirchwahlingen. Here you will find a 1000-year-old fortified church.
Through marshes and Geestland you now return to Verden. The tour continues through Groß and Klein Häuslingen to Otersen, where lovingly preserved farmsteads characterize the listed townscape. You can take another break at the Allercafé and village store. The neighboring village of Wittlohe with its beautiful St. Jakobi church from 1894 has also retained its rural character. The route continues via Hohenaverbergen, Luttum and Eitze and finally along the "Dalschweges" through the densely wooded Geest landscape to Verden.
If you would like to cycle not just the day tour, but the entire 320-kilometre Aller cycle route from Verden via Celle to Magdeburg, you can find more information at www.allerradweg.de.
You can also find the Aller Cycle Path at Komoot.

Horse lovers can learn all about horses and their role in history, culture and art at the German Horse Museum . Excursions are also worthwhile to the Magic Park in Verden.
Or take a leisurely ride on the museum train from Verden to Stemmen (bicycles can be taken on the train). A boat trip on the "Stadt Verden" on the Weser and Aller is also worthwhile (bicycles can be taken on board by prior arrangement).
Enjoy the magnificent view of Verden's medieval cityscape on the south bridge and on the way to Wahnebergen. Along the Aller, the meadows and pastures framed by hedges and groups of bushes create a picturesque setting. The floodplain offers feeding and breeding opportunities for many bird species. Storks can often be seen here in spring and summer.
From Fährhaus Barnstedt you have a wonderful view over the Aller landscape. In the village of Westen close to the Aller is the Amtshaus, built in 1762, which was completely renovated and reopened on May 1, 2006. Next to it is the brick church with an 850-year-old tower.
