View from the Hohenstein cliffs

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.

August 28, 2022,Wanderung im Süntel Blutbachtal - Hohenstein - Süntelturm

After the hot weeks, a nice hike through the Süntel with pleasant temperatures.
It started from the hiking car park in Bensen through the Langeföhrbachtal and Blutbachtal via the stairway to the Hohenstein. Continue following the hiking trail to the Süntelturm with a tower ascent and a short break. After that we went back to the starting point, although the …

December 29, 2024,Durch den Nebel oder Null(Aus)sicht

Today we went to Hohenstein with André. The weather was rather mediocre and the higher we got, the less visibility we had. The climb up the Süntelturm was not worth it for the fourth time in a row. At some point I will see it when the sun is shining.

The Süntel has been on my list for a very, very long time. After a hellish week, an extreme tour was needed and this round was the perfect choice.

Very early in the morning I set off from Blutbach, where my drinking bottle was filled up. Baxmann's Baude is also very close by, but I skipped it.
At first the …

May 27, 2022,12-22 - Hessisch Oldendorf - Süntelturm, Hohenstein und Lost Places

This time there was a tour near Hessisch Oldendorf. I haven't visited this corner for a long time.
The start is on a large free hiking car park.
The first few kilometers mostly go along the edge of the forest so that you always have great panoramic views of the surrounding area.
After about 5km there is a Lost Place …

October 12, 2024,Süntel💚🍁🍂🍁- Hohenstein und Süntelturm

Today we were out and about in the Süntel again after a while.
But this time we chose the "steep" path up to Hohenstein, where you come out at the green altar. I still remember exactly how scared I was when we walked it for the first time, because the path there is very narrow and steep and I was …

August 23, 2025,Süntelwanderung mit Aussichtsturm und Steinbrüchen (Niedersachsen/Weserbergland)

After hiking the cliffs in the northern Süntel region a few years ago (komoot.com/de-de/tour/261487961), this time I headed south along the ridge.

The goal was the Süntel Tower, with its fantastic views over the Weser Valley and the Weser Uplands. I also visited the abandoned quarries in Pötzen and Haddessen. The lower part of the loading bunker in Haddessen is …
