At 442.5 meters, the Süntel is the highest elevation in the Weser Uplands Nature Park. The area stretches over 1,000 square kilometers on both sides of the Weser River. The landscape is diverse – from picturesque shorelines to steep cliffs.

View from the Hohenstein cliffs

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a beautiful view of the Hohenstein cliffs down to the lowlands. A stone with an inscription from the 1950s calls hikers to be mindful.

Hohenstein Cliffs and Scenic Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Hohenstein is a must in the Süntel. Cliffs worn by the wind bear witness to the Hohenstein's centuries-long watch over the Weser Valley. A paradise for climbers, hikers and bikers alike. In clear weather you can enjoy spectacular sunsets. It is best to plan early in the morning, in the evening or in autumn/winter. The classic times are often very busy
