View of the Quarry in Natur- und Geopark TERRA.vita

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's worth continuing this "tip" from the rest hut with a view. From here, you have a fantastic view of the quarry, the hut, and the steep cliff below.

Heineberg Quarry

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The hiking trail over the crest of the Weser Mountains leads along above a quarry. The large machines and the steep walls offer an impressive panorama and you have a great view of the plain behind.

View from the Porta-Kanzel of the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument and the River Weser

From here you have a very nice view of the Weser and the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument - perfect for a rest. A hiking trail leads from here directly to the television tower.

Jakobsberg Observation Tower (Former Schlageter Memorial)

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schlageter Memorial on Jakobsberg in Porta Westfalica was unfinished and bombed during World War II. The memorial has been modified; the stone base, still six meters high today, has been covered with a walkable viewing platform.

March 15, 2026,Weserberglandweg Etappe 13 - Vom Kaiserblick zum Pizzabäcker

Nachdem uns die Hermannshöhen mit ihrer ersten Etappe nicht überzeugen konnten, haben wir uns am nächsten Wandertag der letzten Etappe des Weserberglandwegs gewidmet. Wir laufen ihn rückwärts, weil die letzten Etappen von Herford aus zunächst noch gut per Bahn und Bus zu erreichen sind.
Die 13. Etappe startete für uns also bei Porta Westfalica, direkt am Bahnhof. Vor uns lagen …

October 8, 2021,13 Tage auf dem … - Tag 13 - Von Rinteln nach Porta Westfalica

13th and last stage of the Weserberglandweg. After a night of drinking, uh, no relaxing night, we started our last stage from the hiking car park in Frankenburg. After about 1000 m we met the WBW and it went slightly uphill. Through the NSG Kamm it went over the A 2 and then right (we first walked left) partly steeply …

May 5, 2022,Weserberglandweg: Rinteln - Porta Westfalica

The cheering in the hotel continued. In the last places I just grabbed a roll for the packed lunch and took it with me, today I was handed a whole carrier bag. I could very well imagine trudging along the hiking trail with my backpack and happily dangling a white carrier bag next to me 🤣. Well, I took part …

September 15, 2023,Weserberglandweg 12. Etappe Rinteln - Porta Westfalica

Back on the ridge path we make quick progress: wide, dry forest paths lead directly to the Porta. The television tower is closed and only opens on weekends. The viewing platform 100 m further is therefore deserted. The view is disappointing, however, with trees and bushes blocking the view. Shortly before the descent, there is a wonderful view of the …

June 26, 2023,Weserberglandweg Tag 9 Luhdener Klippen - Porta Westfalica

The last day began for me at 6 a.m. with the departure. I crossed the A2 and climbed up to the Königshütte. I had breakfast at the vantage point there. Porta Westfalica was much closer and the view was simply bombastic. The following stretch was characterized by up and down through forest area with huge beeches and along/above imposing quarries. …

April 20, 2025,Weserbergland-Weg: Von Rinteln nach Porta Westfalica

The signage is pleasant; after every turn and every intersection, there's another marker shortly afterward, assuring you that 'yes, you're in the right place.'

What was less pleasant was that you had to be very careful of mountain bikers in some sections.

October 9, 2023,Weserberglandweg - Finale im Regen

The destination of the Weserberglandweg was within reach, but Petrus treated us to a persistent and sometimes very strong shower, fantastic fog and small torrents on the way. But that didn't dampen our good mood. Some beautiful views remained completely hidden from us and we could only see the Kaiser Wilhelm monument in the haze. We now know every refuge …

October 31, 2021,E11 Porta Westfalica-> Rohdental. Teil 1

If the E1, or the sections I have not yet walked, are no longer within spontaneously reachable proximity, I just take another European long-distance route. This time it is the E11 and I chose Porta Westfalica as a start because I can get there easily by train. (Every hour from Hanover, Porta Hausberge train station)
There are plenty of signposted …
