    Hiking

    The "Haus Bergleben" is opened every Sunday and public holiday and the tower is open for climbing (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
    In May (usually May 1st) there is a traditional tower festival every year, at which the Infantry Regiment, a troop that keeps the time in the Schaumburg region during the time of Count Wilhelm alive in historical costumes, is present.

    Beautiful route from Bad Rehburg to Wölpinghausen. In between and in good weather you can see the Steinhuder Meer!

    Hiking

    The Wilhelmsturm was built in 1846 by Prince Georg of Schaumburg-Lippe for the purpose of surveying the land. However, it is also reported that the tower was merely a job creation measure.

    Today, the 25 m high tower is an observation tower, but it is only open on Sundays and public holidays. But then you get a worthwhile view, not in all directions, but towards Petershagen and the Wiehen Mountains, as well as the Weser Mountains. There is also a kiosk at the tower with small items such as drinks and bratwurst.
