The Rodenberger Höhe rises west of Heisterburg Castle at 322 m above sea level. It is a trigonometric point for the national survey and the site of a tower with telecommunications equipment. About 600 meters northwest of this spot – still in the parcel of land of the same name – is the Rodenberger Hütte, which is why many Deister hikers also call it the "Rodenberger Höhe." As early as the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the Hanover Tourist Association built a shelter here from rubble stone with a flat roof serving as an observation platform, offering a magnificent view of Lake Steinhude, the Süntel Valley, the Süntel, and the Bückeberge Mountains. Today, the view is limited by the fast-growing trees below the hut and will surely soon become overgrown unless the responsible Saupark (Springe) Forestry Office takes countermeasures.

Although Rapunzel has no historical connection to the Wilhelmsturm, on which this elaborately worked carving stands, it is definitely appropriate for this fairy tale. A nice rest area with an information board about the Wilhelmsturm, but also about the fairy tale Rapunzel, which is also enhanced with food and drinks from the kiosk on Sundays.

The Wilhelmsturm was built in 1846 by Prince Georg of Schaumburg-Lippe for the purpose of surveying the land. However, it is also reported that the tower was merely a job creation measure. Today, the 25 m high tower is an observation tower, but it is only open on Sundays and public holidays. But then you get a worthwhile view, not in all directions, but towards Petershagen and the Wiehen Mountains, as well as the Weser Mountains. There is also a kiosk at the tower with small items such as drinks and bratwurst.
