The Rödinghauser Schuhbaum is located at the refuge: a cool idea with an old story behind it. Nice resting place.

August 5, 2025, Bergkirchen Passhöhe Shelter

In the heart of Bergkirchen, right at the top of the Wiehen Hills pass (163 meters above sea level), opposite the Church of St. Nicholas and the hotel-restaurant "Wittekindsquelle," stands this beautiful, solidly built mountain hut with a boulder in front of the entrance. It likely also serves as a bus shelter. This is not only the intersection of the roads from Rothenuffeln/Hartum/Oberlübbe/Haddenhausen/Minden (to the north) and Volmerdingsen/Bad Oeynhausen as well as Wulferdingsen/Halstern/Löhne (to the south), but also several popular cycling and hiking trails. Accordingly, the mountain hut is also equipped with tourist information boards.

Here you can relax for a while and hide from the bad weather in the hut. There are garden benches, tables and a small grill. There is also a parking space if you want to leave your car there.

Very spacious with 2 tables / continuous benches and is therefore also worthwhile for a longer rest. Illuminated in the evening. Noisy due to the proximity to the main road.
