You can find out more about the monastery on the overview board and find out when you can take part in the services. The path from the Königszinne to the monastery is very beautiful.

From September 15, 2024, the stamp station 2 of the hiking treasures of the Wild Homeland will be located at the signpost next to the Königszinne.

From the castle-like observation tower you can enjoy a wide view over the Münchhausen town of Bodenwerder and the Weser valley, 255 meters above sea level on a ledge of the Vogler. The Königszinne got its name in honor of George V, the last king of Hanover. The massive building is made of sandstone that was quarried directly behind the Königszinne. Some of the old sandstone pits can still be seen in the forest today. Designed in the historicist style, the Königszinne looks like an old castle ruin. Many observation towers were built in this architectural style at the time, for example the Bismarck Tower on the neighboring hilltop. The Königszinne was ceremoniously inaugurated on the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig on October 18, 1863.

Tip along the way: The Königszinne is not only a popular place for hikers, you can also watch paragliders up here. They use the Königszinne as a launch site for practice flights.

The Königszinne above the Munchausen town of Bodenwerder is the remains of a large fortress. It offers a great view of Bodenwerder, the Weser and the surrounding area. Not only hikers are enthusiastic, but also fans of the air sport paragliding.

A great tour with great vantage points. The route is signposted as a two-tower trail and is moderately difficult. The ascent to the Königszinne is moderate and follows wide forest paths. From the top there is a good view over Bodenwerder.
