In the Wiehengebirge mountains, at an altitude of 198 meters above sea level, the Wiehenturm is one of the most northerly viewing platforms in Germany. With its 125 steps and a height of 29.5 meters, it allows visitors to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape to the full.
The view: The vast North German Plain stretches out to the north, while the gently rolling Minden-Ravensberg countryside catches the eye to the south. On clear days in particular, a panorama opens up that delights even well-traveled hikers.
Perfect destination for hikers and nature lovers
The Wiehenturm is located directly on popular hiking trails, including the Eggetaler Panoramaweg, which is known for its picturesque paths. The surrounding routes lead through varied forests, flowering meadows and offer numerous opportunities to discover the regional flora and fauna.
Whether as a stage destination or as a place for a well-earned rest - the tower attracts hikers, families and photographers alike. In addition, the well-signposted paths and proximity to Preußisch Oldendorf and Börninghausen ensure that the observation tower is easy to reach.
The Wiehenturm is not only a striking landmark of the Wiehengebirge, but also a place where nature and history meet. Whether you want to enjoy the spectacular view, take a break on a hike or simply soak up the tranquillity of the surroundings - a visit is worthwhile in every respect.
