Tips from the Community
Der Hohe Berg is a striking elevation (an „ambitious earth mound“) on the Via Baltica in the area of the Barrien – Harpstedt stage. Shortly after starting in Barrien, the path leads over the Der Hohe Berg (58.5m), where a wind farm is located and from this height, the pilgrim sees Bremen to the north. The section is part of the Westphalian stages, where pilgrims often walk on hard tarred roads, which is a strain on the joints.

If your stomach is acting up or you have a small colic - Bullenschluck rubbed on the inside helps!! Five or six small glasses and everything is gone again. WITHOUT a headache! Personal experience...

The "Hohe Berg" (High Mountain) was certainly named with a wink. But since it is the highest elevation far and wide, and also has the observation tower, you have a fantastic panoramic view - in good weather, all the way to Bremen!
