For over 700 years, Bückeburg Castle has been a living mirror of time.

June 25, 2023,Klippenturm Luhden –Bad Eilsen -Ida Turm- Tor zum Schloss Runde von Bückeburg

Train connection to Bückeburg is very good
Notice
Fuchssteig near Papenbring not good.
Very steep and hard to find.
Stay on the main path
Away via Bad Eilsen, a lot of roads, I would take a different variant.
Ida tower way very nice
