Hiking
The Witthus association is renovating the completely dilapidated Wittekindsburg and turning it into a jewel! Simply hike or cycle there, there is food and drink on site and you support courageous people with an incredible amount of creativity. Culture and events also take place there. Highly recommended!

Here was a former refuge with the meanwhile withered Wittekindsquelle. Today, a castle-like, built in 1896 within the Wallburg excursion restaurant attracts hikers and walkers alike.

The Wittekindsburg, as it is known today, is a castle-like restaurant, but the real fortifications, which bear the name Wittekindsburg, date back to the Iron Age and were built over 2000 years ago.
In 1893, it was decided to build a tourist spot and hiking destination between the remains of the foundations of the real castle, which had long since been reclaimed by nature.
A residential building was built shortly afterwards, along with a pub and stable. Just 5 years later, the residential building was torn down and the current building was built on the same site.
