Popular around Stemshorn
The Stemweder Berg is not only a popular destination for day trips, but also a place of historical significance. The Peace of Westphalia in 1648 resulted in the southern part of the Stemweder Berg becoming part of Brandenburg (Prussia). This historical change is an important part of the region's history and is documented by various historical boundary stones along the edge of the hill. These stones bear witness to the region's eventful history and offer insights into the evolution of borders and the political changes in the area.

The tour is very beautiful and has a surprising amount of “mountain flair”. But: You should definitely do the tour on a mountain bike! Especially since various tree trunks prevent you from getting through without any problems.
