Der Hohe Berg is a striking elevation (an „ambitious earth mound“) on the Via Baltica in the area of the Barrien – Harpstedt stage. Shortly after starting in Barrien, the path leads over the Der Hohe Berg (58.5m), where a wind farm is located and from this height, the pilgrim sees Bremen to the north. The section is part of the Westphalian stages, where pilgrims often walk on hard tarred roads, which is a strain on the joints.

The "Hohe Berg" (High Mountain) was certainly named with a wink. But since it is the highest elevation far and wide, and also has the observation tower, you have a fantastic panoramic view - in good weather, all the way to Bremen!

Carpenter Marko Klopsch had the artwork welded from old wind turbines. The ropes were knotted in a collaborative effort by several villagers. They represent the connection between the villagers and are intended to capture living spaces.

The old station now houses the "Tasse und Teller" cafe. They serve coffee, cake, and small dishes, but don't expect large portions, and the service drops off abruptly once served. It's a real shame. Perhaps the view of the heritage railway, which departs from here every weekend between May and October, as well as on Advent weekends, makes up for it. Those interested are also welcome to visit the maintenance workshop on operating days, where additional vehicles can be viewed.
