Tips

Solling-Vogler-Region

September 13, 2024

From September 15, 2024, the stamp station 2 of the hiking treasures of the Wild Homeland will be located at the signpost next to the Königszinne.

From the castle-like observation tower you can enjoy a wide view over the Münchhausen town of Bodenwerder and the Weser valley, 255 meters above sea level on a ledge of the Vogler. The Königszinne got its name in honor of George V, the last king of Hanover. The massive building is made of sandstone that was quarried directly behind the Königszinne. Some of the old sandstone pits can still be seen in the forest today. Designed in the historicist style, the Königszinne looks like an old castle ruin. Many observation towers were built in this architectural style at the time, for example the Bismarck Tower on the neighboring hilltop. The Königszinne was ceremoniously inaugurated on the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig on October 18, 1863.

Tip along the way: The Königszinne is not only a popular place for hikers, you can also watch paragliders up here. They use the Königszinne as a launch site for practice flights.

Great observation tower above the Münchhausen town of Bodenwerder. The climb is worth it! If you want to have a view of the Weser, the Bismarck Tower is recommended. It can only be seen a little from the pinnacle.

The Königszinne (King's Peak) is located on the edge of a very steep Weser escarpment (255 m above sea level) and was built in 1863 in honor of King George V, the last King of Hanover. It was ceremoniously inaugurated on October 18, 1863, during the celebrations commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig.

From the Königszinne, there is a fantastic view over Bodenwerder, the Ottenstein Plateau, and the surrounding hills.
