Pictures in front of our doorstep

  About 20km north of Bückeburg, we find the small locality of Windheim at the river Weser. Because there is no bridge crossing the river, a private association has established a ferry. During summer, from July until September, at weekends, market days and national holidays, people and cyclists can cross the river with the ferry “PetraSolara”. Part of the Weser-Bike- Trail, this ferry counts lots of passengers during summer and in fine weather.   The ferry is solar powered, and the batteries are recharged on a swimming charging unit equipped with solar panels, giving power for a full day of operation. More information about the association and the ferry: https://petrasolara.de/ (German only)   Near Windheim we can see lots of small villages with interesting historical buildings.
