Tips
It's actually a rather inconspicuous place up here: In this small clearing (which is now being reforested) once stood one of three castles belonging to the heathen king Wittekind (hence Wittekindsburg), the Wiecksburg in Gehnberge on the Borghecke between Bramsche and Ueffeln. Unfortunately, nothing more can be seen of the castle, there are only smaller rubble stones lying around and the area and walls give an idea that a building once stood here.
