    Hiking

    The northern city gate of Höxter was the Klaustor, which took its name from the St. Nicholas Church that was originally located here. The city gate was also its church tower.
    This St. Nicholas Church was replaced in the Baroque period by the current St. Nicholas Church on Marktstrasse.
    The federal highways 64 and 83 used to leave the old town here to the north.

    Hiking

    Parts of the city wall, including gates and ramparts, are still preserved. The former garden is now a green area with numerous benches where you can relax under old chestnut trees.
