Tips
The 58 meter high "Hohe Berg" is the highest elevation in the Weser Marsh area around Bremen. The 13 meter high observation tower was built in 2010 as part of a student architecture competition. After mastering the 72 steps (you should be free from giddiness, as the view between the Stairs down is very nice ;-)) you have a wonderful view towards the Weser, Bremen and the Hachetal - and in general in all directions.At the foot of the tower is a former US anti-aircraft missile site.

Until 1987 this was a military area, first American, then German. Here was a missile station with a large radar system. In 2004 the site was acquired by the city of Syke with EU funds for the "Geest Cultural Landscape" project. In 2010 today's observation tower was built.
