Started from Porta Westfalica today. 😳 There are certainly more beautiful places. 😳 Endless traffic, it took almost 2 km for it to calm down. 😊 But after that, a beautiful, interesting tour with many highlights. 🤗👍😎 It was very beautiful and definitely worth it. 😊👍

November 20, 2022,Kaiser Wilhelm und der Zuckerguss (eine Eisbär-Wanderung) ❄️☀️🍁

With temperatures around freezing point, a circular hike from Porta Westfalica to the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument. The hoarfrost in connection with the leaves and the sun resulted in very nice lighting moods and the panoramic views along the route were not to be scoffed at either 😉❄️🍁☀️

October 25, 2024,Wittekindsburg – Moltketurm Runde von Porta Westfalica

The first half of the hiking trail is accompanied by relatively loud traffic noise from the main road. It bothered me a little. The trail is quite beautiful, with old, tall trees. Halfway there is a good restaurant with a wonderful view of the Weser and the countryside. The food is good and plentiful, but unfortunately a little expensive. The …
