Rinteln is one of the three important tourist towns in the middle Weser. Minden and Hamlen, of rats and pied piper fame, being the others.
Another good ride, improved by a small tailwind as we headed east for a bit. First rain on the bike since the start of the trip. Short light rain that was over quickly.
Another perfect medieval town. See pics. Hotel from 1593 but renovated. As it is Sat. Most places are closed. As the weather is cool and overcast it is a very good day for the wandering we did.
The architecture is called, in the tourist literature, Weser Renaissance. No idea why.
A ball of string:
This evening we took an after dinner walk smack into another outdoor feat. By the old church. 175 years of choral singing. Fish and drinking songs. Still comes out as a Polka.
