Cheap flights to Weserbergland

Along the banks of the Weser, between wooded hills and half-timbered towns, lies the Weserbergland — a region where the stories of the Brothers Grimm come to life. With flights to the Weserbergland, you'll discover the fairytale heart of Germany.

The Weserbergland Region

The Weserbergland is a hilly landscape in the state of Lower Saxony, along the Weser river. The region is famous as the setting for many Brothers Grimm fairy tales. The Deutsche Märchenstraße (German Fairy Tale Route) runs through the Weserbergland, connecting the towns linked to the most famous German fairy tales.

Hamelin (Hameln) is the town of the Pied Piper of Hamelin — the famous fairy tale in which a mysterious flute player rids the town of rats. Every Sunday in summer, the story is re-enacted on the streets of the old town centre. The colourful half-timbered houses in Weser Renaissance style make Hamelin one of the most beautiful small towns in the region.

Höxter, with the imposing Schloss Corvey — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is a town with a rich cultural heritage. The abbey church of Corvey houses one of the oldest libraries in Germany.

The nature of the Weserbergland is ideal for hikers and cyclists. The Weser-Radweg, one of the most popular cycling routes in Germany, follows the river from Hann. Münden to Bremen. Through the wooded hills of the Süntel and Ith mountains, you'll find quiet walking routes with beautiful views over the Weser Valley.

Don't forget to admire the Weser Renaissance — a unique architectural style found in the beautiful half-timbered houses and castles along the river. Schloss Hämelschenburg and Schloss Fürstenberg are magnificent examples. Book your flights to the Weserbergland at CheapTickets.nl!
