April 30, 2026,Schmetterlingssteig-Skywalk/Bad Karlshafen

This weekend I joined the Netwalkers led by Sabine Holicki. Coming to a corner of Germany that is – certainly not only – unknown to me was very appealing. After the first hike and a very good city tour, I am thrilled.
We are staying right on the harbor in the former guesthouse of Landgrave Carl von Hessen. A great …

For my second tour during my detour to the Weser Uplands, today I went to the Weser Skywalk and a section of the Weser Uplands Trail.

Right after starting in Bad Karlshafen, I climbed steeply uphill along the Klippensteig to the Weser Skywalk on the Hanover Cliffs. From there, there are fantastic views along the Weser Valley. After a short …

The hike rewards you with a magnificent view of the Weser River, the baroque town of Bad Karlshafen, and the Reinhardswald Nature Park. And the sun 🌞 even made an exception and stayed true to the weather app's forecast.

February 12, 2022,Wanderung Karlshafen-Würgassen-Skywalk--Brüggefeld

Great hike with lots of sun! First along the Weser in the direction of Würgassen, then from there up the wooden path to the Skywalk. Great view from there. Then on to Brüggefeld and the deserted village of Schmessen, a few finds from the 13th century. Continue through the forest on winding paths back to Karlshafen. Top hike!🤗
