Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Lichtenhagen

Highlight • Religious Site

The small Evangelical Lutheran church is located in the middle of the village of Lichtenhagen. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any further information about it.

From this bench, you can see far across the surrounding Weser Uplands. The cooling towers of the former Grohnde nuclear power plant are visible.

...with a magnificent view of the Weserbergland. The climb is only partially suitable for cycling. But it's worth it! Since Sept. '24 there has been a stamp box of hiking …

Tree of Faces

I like the artwork in the forest. Unfortunately, it's already crumbling and needs to be repaired.

August 7, 2025,WILDE HEIMAT: Feldläufer Ot6 ab Lichtenhagen
Today I took on two shorter hiking tours again.
First, I walked the FIELDLÄUFER trail from Lichtenhagen, which offered all sorts of terrain: asphalt, gravel, mud, overgrown vegetation, and tall grass. You have to like that.
On the plateau, you are rewarded with a beautiful, expansive view of the Weser Valley and the surrounding hills.
The villages of Lichtenhagen and …

Today there were two individual ♟️ tours on the agenda. The starting points are about 15 minutes apart by car.
Started the first tour in Lichtenhagen - the Ottenstein plateau. No sun, fog and icy wind. I've never had such cold fingers despite 🧤. That's why I completed the tour at a brisk pace. The frost made the paths easy …

November 30, 2024,WS 4,Feldläufer (Ot 6)🍀
A round of @Solling-Vogler-Region .
Wonderful views in an icy wind.
The paths were partially frozen and quite muddy, making it difficult to walk.
After the face tree, the path is no longer recommended.
A real wild boar party location and you're up to your ankles in mud.
Considering that it's an official, well-signposted path, many sections are not recommended …

This "Wild Homeland" is my "Old Homeland," to which I still feel a strong connection—you never forget your roots... 😍
It's especially beautiful at this time of year, with the many rapeseed fields.
Nevertheless, at km 6, there's a short section of the trail that's not quite as exciting. Wild boars are at work here, and the section is (almost …

A special atmosphere and very expansive views on the plateau.

I was accompanied by a lot of wind.

Otherwise, a village idyll, country lanes, and wonderful paths and trails in the forest.

Nice relaxing hike in spring-like temperatures. 🌞🌞😎👍

November 13, 2025,Lichtenhagen: Feldläufer
Another glorious November hiking Thursday! 🌞

Today I explored the expansive Ottenstein Plateau, which rises between the Weser and Emmer valleys and promises sweeping views across the countryside in good weather. 🤗

First, I set off on the "Feldläufer" (Field Runner) circular trail, marked Ot 6.

Actually a route advertised as a premium hiking trail and also well signposted, but is no longer maintained and today (end of August 2024) was partly no longer accessible. Knee-high grass over long stretches and at some point it was impossible to go any further due to lush vegetation.
