Tips

Solling-Vogler-Region

September 13, 2024

From September 15, 2024, stamp station 17 of the hiking treasures of the Wild Homeland will be located at the Sohlhütte at the Raabeturm.

On the Hilskammweg, at a height of 471 meters, stands the 15-meter-high Wilhelm Raabe Tower, named after the famous poet. Built from steel in 1909 by the Hils Association, it offers great views of the Hilsmulde and the Weser and Leinebergland. However, climbing the tower is not for people with a fear of heights. The upper part of the tower is very narrow, so you will probably have to leave your backpack down to fit through the access hatches. In general, the ladders are quite airy - a small adventure that is rewarded with a wonderful view. Wilhelm Raabe was born in Eschershausen in 1831. He spent his childhood and youth in Eschershausen, Holzminden and Stadtoldendorf. In addition to the tower, you will also find the Wilhelm Raabe Memorial and the Solhütte here. Just a short distance further is the highest elevation of the Hils at 480 metres - the Blose Zelle.
