The Royal Prussian Optical Telegraph Station No. 28 is a significant testament to the early history of communications in the 19th century. It was part of a far-reaching network of telegraph lines established by Prussia to transmit messages quickly and reliably over long distances. The stations operated with a system of movable signal arms that were visible from afar, enabling the transmission of messages in a flash – long before electric telegraphs became widespread. The station was strategically located and served to connect important cities and military installations. From here, messages could be relayed to the next station within minutes, significantly accelerating political and military decision-making. The station's design was functional: A sturdy tower provided sufficient height to make the signals visible over long distances, while adjacent outbuildings housed accommodations for the telegraph operators and storage rooms for technical equipment.

Here you cross the Weser.

From here you have a beautiful view over the Weser to the cliffs of Dölme.

But not into the Weserbergland. Here the view is towards the Osterwald.

A cycle path for relaxed cycling. The surface is partly gravel, partly a narrow lane with grassy areas.

There's a small bicycle ferry in Heinsen, which is also very convenient if you don't want to take the car ferry in Polle. Or if it's not running due to low tide.

Always worth a bike tour

Attention: As of August 10, 2025, the trip will be discontinued from midday due to the low water level!
