Highlight • Monument

For 1 euro you can go up the tower. Unfortunately, you can't see anything special from above. The trees around the tower are too tall.

At least there is a terminal moraine in the flat north. Narrow single trails lead to the "summit".

The Brelinger Berg was piled up to a height of 92 meters during the Saale Ice Age around 230,000 years ago. It is located in beautiful Wedemark. There is a landscape protection area around the mountain to restore the animal and plant world that has been affected by the heavy sand and gravel quarrying. On the summit of the Brelinger Berg there is a Gauss stone, which commemorates the land survey carried out by the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828.

The Gauss stone marks the spot from which the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss carried out his measurements in 1828. Right next to it is a more recent trigonometric point.

Although Rapunzel has no historical connection to the Wilhelmsturm, on which this elaborately worked carving stands, it is definitely appropriate for this fairy tale. A nice rest area with an information board about the Wilhelmsturm, but also about the fairy tale Rapunzel, which is also enhanced with food and drinks from the kiosk on Sundays.

The Wilhelmsturm was built in 1846 by Prince Georg of Schaumburg-Lippe for the purpose of surveying the land. However, it is also reported that the tower was merely a job creation measure. Today, the 25 m high tower is an observation tower, but it is only open on Sundays and public holidays. But then you get a worthwhile view, not in all directions, but towards Petershagen and the Wiehen Mountains, as well as the Weser Mountains. There is also a kiosk at the tower with small items such as drinks and bratwurst.
