Steep trail up to the crest of the Hohenstein. The fastest way to get from the Kreuzsteinquelle car park below and above the Hohenstein cliffs.

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

Renate Ricke memorial stone

Here a child from Hamburg died in the 1950s. This stone is to remind of the danger of the 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.

April 3, 2025,Bei sommerlichen Temperaturen ein wenig herumsünteln

Today I took advantage of the first summer day to take a walk in the Süntel valley, an area I hadn't previously experienced. At the beginning of the tour, I was initially a bit disappointed, as the first quarter was relatively unspectacular, running along forest highways. After a while, I unexpectedly stumbled upon a forest cemetery, which got me thinking. …

Strenuous, but beautiful. Wild garlic is blooming almost everywhere. Many other plants are also blooming along the path. There were a few drops of rain three times. Much nicer weather than yesterday and even sunshine.

A lovely hike. With fantastic views in the middle. Quite slippery and slushy from the remaining ice and snow. Must be absolutely wonderful at another time of year.

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.
