Site of the former aircraft beacon on West-Kandel

Highlight • Historical Site

The remains of this lighthouse can be found on the "summit" of the West Kandel. A lighthouse in the Weserbergland is really surprising 😄.

Today we had a hike planned. Since it rained until about 10:30 a.m. 🌧, we didn't start until about 11 a.m. The climb is not easy 🥵, but once you get to the top you have a really nice view of the Weser Valley. Later on the sun 🌞 came out and then unfortunately there was a light rain ☔️. …

This time I went to Heinsen in the beautiful Weser Uplands to see my cousin.
Heinsen is right on the Weser and belongs to the Holzminden district in Lower Saxony.
A nice little round, on well-developed paths, through beautiful forests. Since it had rained a lot and the sky was mostly gray, the otherwise beautiful view remained hidden.

The municipality of Heinsen, the first village in Lower Saxony on the left bank of the Weser, has a well-signposted historic hiking trail. This leads through the village and the district to the south with many references to history from the early days to the 20th century. There is even an extra parking lot for hikers on this trail. 😃👍 …
