February 25, 2024,Hohenstein💚- Das Wochenende ausklingen lassen😀

At the end of the weekend we decided to go on a hike to Hohenstein today😀.

A pleasant tour with little elevation gain, great views, lots of wild garlic and a few pretty Märzenbecher.

The paths were dry and easy to walk (except for a short stretch towards the Blutbachquelle)😀.

August 27, 2023,Wanderung von LOWA und WESERBERGLAND Tourismus

For the 100th anniversary, LOWA organized hikes in various regions.

I had already registered for the hike in the Weserbergland at the beginning of the year. After I suppressed that briefly, there was a reminder e-mail.

So it started today, start and finish was the parking lot at the Schillat caves.

Beautiful hike over the Hohenstein. Follow hiking trail no. 7 over easy-to-walk paths and stairs. Trees are partly on the natural forest paths. Great vantage points that invite you to rest.

March 2, 2024,Hohenstein Runde vom Wanderparkplatz Baxmannbaude

A tour to Hohenstein and the Teufelskanzel is a must when I'm in the area. And it's different every time and always impressive. This time I went over the Blutbachquelle, a really nice, quiet place in the middle of a beautiful beech forest. The route I had originally planned, namely from there along the Blutbach, was too dangerous for me, …

April 16, 2022,Weserbergland - NSG Hohenstein, Blütenteppiche auf dem Süntel🌸🦋🌿🌼🏵️

The small ridge in the Weserbergland "Süntel" comes along with 400 Hm completely calm and has so much to offer. Everything blooms wherever you look... colourful🌸🌼😍. It smells, it blooms and there is twittering. Great views and picnic rocks, stories of bewitched trees - the crippled Süntelbuchen and beautiful paths through the still sparse beech forest - it was completely …

September 3, 2022,Hohenstein-Runde: Grüner Altar - Blutbachquelle - Klippenweg - Baxmannbaude

Spectacularly beautiful tour of the Süntel with the neighbors in Lower Saxony. Here you can simply immerse yourself in the forest. This time there were also Süntelbuchen to see - their idiosyncratic, twisted growth makes these red beech trees very special. This time I also walked the cliff path below the Green Altar and Hohenstein for the first time. I …
