Weser River

The Weser River is 273 miles long and is located entirely in Germany. It begins in Lower Saxony in north-west Germany and flows through Saxony countryside. The landscape along the river here almost appears to have been forgotten by time. It features riverside meadows, Renaissance palaces, unspoiled country towns, medieval castle ruins, and wealthy merchants? homes from the 16th century. In the tale The Pied Piper of Hamelin, the piper played his pipe to lure the rats into the Weser River where they all drowned.
