Reineberg Castle, also called Reineburg, is a former hilltop castle on the 275.9 meter high Reineberg in the Wiehengebirge in the southern urban area of Lübbecke, in the so-called Reineberger Hagen. The beginnings of the Reineberg state castle are lost in legend. According to the bishop's chronicles of the city of Minden, the castle was founded by Bishop Konrad I of Rüdenberg (1209–1237). Osnabrück sources, however, report that the Osnabrück bishop Adolf von Tecklenburg (1216–1224) was a co-builder. Reinberg Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1221. In 1951 an official survey of the still visible castle remains took place. The local historian Friedrich Langewiesche from Bünde discovered that there were once five outer castles in front of the Reineburg. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Reineberg

At 320 m high, the Heidbrink is not only the highest mountain in the Wiehengebirge, but also the northernmost peak of the central European mainland (excluding the European islands and peninsulas, such as Fennoscandia), between the Atlantic and the Urals. All mountains in Germany that are at a more northern latitude are lower than the Heidbrink. There are places over 300 meters high in low mountain ranges that are a little further north; However, the associated peaks are further south. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidbrink

Nice little walk where you can also find a few geocaches.

Nice single trail up. Then head west, Obermehnen back down.

The ascent from the other side is a challenge, but then the descent is really fun! The Kahle Wart is 263 meters high.

There is a shady rest area at the stone. From the path you have a wide view to the north, very worthwhile when visibility is good.

From the 14th to the 18th century there was a state castle on the summit of the Reineberg, which was demolished in 1723 because it was dilapidated. Only a few remains of the wall can be found. However, the former castle location scores with wonderful, old beeches and narrow paths on the well-preserved ramparts.

Great vantage point and quiet summit with a small "refuge" with a bench. There is also a small Germanic rampart on the summit. Here you can relax and unwind with a view of Lübbecke and the north German lowlands :-)
