    Dragon gliders sometimes start from here, which is also very interesting. Also from here you have a very solid view of the Weser valley.

          The Wittekindsburg, which is today popularly known, is a castle-like restaurant, but the true fortification, which bears the name Wittekindsburg, dates back to the Iron Age and was built over 2000 years ago.

                  Nice location taken over by Witthüs e.v., who restore the whole object in loving work completely to the origin, and create a wonderful ambience.
                  Very worth seeing with events on the weekend and of course open kiosk, where always cold drinks and sausages are at the start.

                        The castle - historical field of tension about the touristic use of the Wiehengebirge.

                            The Wittekindsburg in the eastern Wiehengebirge offers in summer a great beer stop with great views.
                            Here is also a launch pad of hang gliders ;-)

                                        An original fortification from the Iron Age on the Wittekindsberg.
                                        The original fortification “Wittekindsburg” dates back to the Iron Age and was built over 2000 years ago. In 1893, a house, pub and stable were built from the remains of the foundations of the real castle. This developed into a tourist attraction and an important hiking destination. Just 5 years later, the house was demolished and the current building, a castle-like restaurant, was built on the same site.
                                        This entire building complex with its half-timbering and the striking tower, which can be easily recognized from the surrounding valleys, is now a listed building.

                                        The restaurant offers hikers a good place to stop and take a breather. In addition to refreshing themselves with delicious food and drink, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the valley from the Wittekindsburg.
