Prospective in every respect

This varied and partly demanding quality route promises exciting trail sections and fantastic views into the Weser valley, the Emmer valley, and the species-rich landscape around the Hopfenberg and the Piesekopf. The path leads on narrow trails up to the Weser heights. Surefootedness and good basic fitness are required here. Via a recommended 1 km detour on the Bw 1, you can reach the viewpoint Lutterburgshöhe from the height of the Hopfenberg, which also offers a place to rest. Along the way are cultural and tourist highlights of the region, such as the Münchhausen Grotto, the summer toboggan run, and the natural monument "Vier Linden".

From the parking lot, we cross Münchhausenplatz street and Poller street toward the summer toboggan run. At the height of the summer toboggan run, we then go right up the hill on the "NaturErlebnisPfad Hopfenberg" to the "Vier Linden". This trail contains information boards about the habitat "deciduous forest" and its inhabitants. We continue hiking to the Krähenhütte, where we are rewarded with a beautiful view into the Weser valley towards Rühle. We continue further, and before we take the path to the upper trail of Hopfenberg, we have another nice view of the Weser valley. On reaching Hopfenberg, we take the paved forest path to the right in the direction of Piesekopf and Bodenwerder. At the next shelter, we have a view into the Emmer valley. Going further in the direction of Bodenwerder, we have a wide view of the landscape shortly before Bodenwerder. We can already see the first houses of Bodenwerder. The path then leads us above the Hakenberg to the nature experience trail "Hopfenberg". At the information board, we turn right to the summer toboggan run, where we turn left again to return to our starting point.
