      Observation tower in the hiking area. The tower is easy to reach by bike from the hiking car park. However, it is currently not open to the public. The old tower has been replaced by a new tower. The new tower can be entered again.

        Unfortunately locked and dilapidated

          Today we personally convinced ourselves that the weighing tower has been renovated and opened.

                A small detour from the paved road to the Wiehenturm is worthwhile. An architecturally beautiful wooden tower. After the ascent you can enjoy a great view.
                There is sufficient information about the tower here: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiehenturm

                  A rather high observation tower made of wood with a great view in all directions. There is a small shelter next to it. The last few kilometers to the tower are a bit strenuous. Along the way you will also find signs showing the way to the Wiehenturm.

                    125 steps, 29.5 meters high, with wonderful views of the North German Plain and the Minden-Ravensberg region.
