Bad Karlshafen

Highlight • Settlement

The spa town of Bad Karlshafen is located at the mouth of the Diemel and Weser. The cozy town with its baroque houses was founded by Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel in 1699 as a settlement for French Huguenots who had fled. The old harbor basin with the distinctive white warehouse was reconnected to the Weser. Since spring 2019, travelers have again been able to get to the city via the Weser in proper style.

Klippensteig to the Weser Skywalk

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Newly constructed from existing sandstone blocks, as well as tree and canopy material, the Cliff Trail is a natural ascent to the Weser Skywalk. The narrow, winding trail leads approximately 100 meters down the Hanover Cliffs to the Weser River and toward Bad Karlshafen—or up. Discoveries, both big and small, await everywhere, and there's even a bench for a rest.

Weser Skywalk — View of the Weser Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

Update July 2, 2024: Weser Skywalk reopened!

After a routine structural inspection of the Weser Skywalk, it was briefly closed for further inspection. After consultation with the structural engineers, the "green light" was given and the Beverungen city building yard has already removed the barriers.
---------
The Weser Skywalk viewing platform on the Hannoversche Klippen near Würgassen is currently closed to visitors.

During the regular structural inspection, defects were discovered, which are now being examined in more detail. The specialist engineers will meet shortly to discuss further measures. At the moment, it is not possible to estimate how long the closure will last. Signs at the car park already indicate that entry is prohibited.

There is an urgent warning against ignoring the closure!
