Jakobsberg Observation Tower (Former Schlageter Memorial)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schlageter Memorial on Jakobsberg in Porta Westfalica was unfinished and bombed during World War II. The memorial has been modified; the stone base, still six meters high today, has been covered with a walkable viewing platform.

It's worth continuing this "tip" from the rest hut with a view. From here, you have a fantastic view of the quarry, the hut, and the steep cliff below.

August 6, 2022,Bückeburg - Porta Westfalica

Today comes a hike from Bückeburg to Porta Westfalica over the small mountains and Nammer cliffs. It's a preparation for my climbing series, which continues next week (On top of Europe)

I took the train to Bückeburg and from there I walked to Kleinenbremen. Then I walked in the forest and reached the ridge path.

Today we're going for a short walk near Bückeburg. I did the route years ago, but I think it's beautiful then and I didn't want to stay at home in this weather.

We took the train from Hanover to Bückeburg and then continued on foot to the castle. There we took some pictures and crossed the castle park.

But since it was close to the train station for the train, we wanted to wait for the bus in Bückeburg. Only then the bus didn't come; at least not nearly in time …
