Minden

Minden straddles the Weser in northeastern North Rhine-Westphalia, and its position at a major inland-waterway junction has shaped it as a centre of trade and transport. At the Minden Waterway Junction, the Mittelland Canal crosses the river on an aqueduct, an engineering landmark connecting western Germany with routes farther east. The old town is anchored by Minden Cathedral, whose origins date to the early medieval bishopric. Riverside paths and the nearby low uplands place the city between working waterways and wooded country. See how Minden fits into the wider Weser region by browsing webcams nearby.
