Fantastic view from the top of the tower, and the tower itself looks cool too! Thanks to those who made it possible and built it <3

The last few meters on the ridge path coming from the direction of the Bodo Tower are very steep and only suitable for experienced mountain bikers.

You can see the castle beautifully from the other side of the Weser, but if you drive over the bridge (Blue Wonder) and keep to the left you come to Hehlen Castle. And if you're lucky the gates are even open. An absolute eye-catcher.
