Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a very nice view of the Weser and the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument - perfect for a rest. A hiking trail leads from here directly to the television tower.

Highlight • Trail

Just a nice single trail through tall grass. I could imagine that in summer and early autumn it becomes overgrown and then it's not so much fun to drive.

November 27, 2022,Rinteln ↔️ Porta

Tour de Weserbergland from Rinteln:
Cliff Tower, Papenbrink, Name Cliffs, Porta Fensehturm. Route with little asphalt and forest highway, but with trails and ascents and descents. Technically a bit tricky in some places, partly blocked and root-heavy.

Tour to the Cliff Tower with a detour through the local mountains. There's now a device at the Cliff Tower for listening to local stories. Great stuff.
