 Hard but wow!

High up to the namesakes of this quality route, the tower of a former fortress on the Königszinne and the Bismarck tower on the Eckberg, lead partly winding paths and natural trails. Surefootedness and good fitness are required here because many elevation meters must be overcome. The effort is rewarded along the varied route with rest opportunities and breathtaking views over the wide river landscape of the Weser, the lower Lenne valley, and the Münchhausen town Bodenwerder. There you can discover further highlights in a remarkable historic old town via a short detour from this route. In the town on the Weser, you will also find various places to stop for refreshments.
