How imposing the 21 m high keep towers into the sky! Magnificent views of the Weser alternate with shady resting places in the beech forest.
In the area around Hemeln, along the Frau Holle Trail (X4), circular trails of various lengths invite you to explore the fairytale landscape. Finds of burial mounds prove that the settlement of Hemeln and its surroundings began around 1600 BC. The village of "Hemlion" was first mentioned in writing in 834. Thanks to its location on the Weser ford and the historic ridgeways, Hemeln was of supra-local importance. Enjoy the wonderful views of the Weser valley on the circular trails around Hemeln! The trail leads past the fairytale adventure station from Hemeln to Bramburg Castle. How imposing the 21 m high keep towers into the sky! Here you can see the remains of a medieval hilltop castle, which was first mentioned in a document in 1222. The view of the Weser is breathtaking! Later, the trail runs along the coal road, which was once used to transport charcoal from the Bramwald forest to the glassworks. You will also pass the Uhlenstein, which the Brothers Grimm included in their book of legends. The quartzite block marked an old pasture boundary. The path back to the starting point leads over the "Hünenburg" refuge castle, of which only a moat remains today. This is where people used to retreat when predatory hordes approached.
