This engaging tour will guide you along the path of Bremen's historic struggle to secure access to the deep waters of the sea. Once positioned at the mouth of the Weser delta, the city had to face a titanic challenge over the centuries. The slow movement of the river has constantly threatened to silt up, forcing Bremen to fight with all its resources, both material and mental, to keep its connection with the world's oceans alive. The issue of sea access is still of primary importance for the city-state today, and during our tour you will have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in this crucial theme. We will explore Bremen's ports carefully, looking closely at the imposing hydraulic structures and studying the secrets of navigation that have shaped the history of the city. But this tour is much more than a simple history lesson. It will also take you along the riverbanks, following the traces of the peat canals and revealing the secrets of the ancient rural settlements dotting the surrounding landscape.
