The Weser Skywalk is a galvanized steel observation platform built in 2011 on the easternmost of the seven Hanoverian cliffs (Weser sandstone), which rise up to 80 meters above the Weser River near the border triangle of North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, and Hesse, between the towns of Würgassen and Bad Karlshafen.
An absolute top highlight in this region – highly recommended.

Many of these Skyewalks are built at vantage points with an 'adventure' or 'thrill' aspect, in addition to allowing a direct view down through a metal grid or glass floor. Here I see the emphasis on the view, which is beneficial. There is no impression of extreme exposure. Certainly the viewing platform juts out clearly over the sandstone cliffs. However, with a height of approx. 80 meters, this is limited and is also softened by the vegetation. But here is a very nice panorama of the Weser section from left to Karlshafen and to the right to Würgassen.

The view from the Skywalk over the Weser and the towns of Herstelle, Würgassen and Bad Karlshafen is always worthwhile. Those who do not dare to look at the lattice construction can already have a good look from the forecourt.
