Hidden between fields and ancient trees lies this impressive mausoleum in Hasperde Castle Park – a real insider tip on the route between Paderborn and Hanover. I discovered it on my gravel bike tour when I passed by around 2:50 p.m. The tranquil, somewhat enchanted atmosphere immediately captivated me. Even if you can only view it from the outside, it's a worthwhile stop for a short break or a photo.

The Teufelskanzel (Devil's Pulpit) is a striking vantage point in the Weser Mountains near Hessisch Oldendorf, about 16 kilometers northwest of Rinteln. It is located on the Hohenstein, a wooded plateau at an altitude of approximately 340 meters, and offers impressive views over the Weser Valley and the surrounding Weser Uplands. The Teufelskanzel rock formation is part of the Hohenstein cliffs, which are up to 40 meters high and also include the "Green Altar" and the "Hirschsprung" (Deer Leap). These cliffs drop steeply to the Weser River and are accessible via well-marked hiking trails. The ascent involves some steep steps and requires surefootedness. Once at the top, the view rewards the effort with a magnificent panorama. The region around the Teufelskanzel is rich in myths and legends. It is said that the devil once preached here, which gave the rock formation its name. Other points of interest are nearby, such as the "Green Altar," which is considered a historically significant site and may have once served as a sacrificial site. For hikers, there's a circular route that leads from Zersen through the Blutbach Valley up to Hohenstein. The route is approximately eight kilometers long and leads through diverse landscapes with deciduous forests and open rocks. There are several rest stops along the way, including the Baxmannbaude hut, which is a great place to stop for a break.
