Wittekindsburg and View over the Weser Valley

Highlight • Castle

The Witthus association is renovating the completely dilapidated Wittekindsburg and turning it into a jewel! Simply hike or cycle there, there is food and drink on site and you support courageous people with an incredible amount of creativity. Culture and events also take place there. Highly recommended!

Kaiser Wilhelm Monument, Porta Westfalica

Highlight • Monument

The memorial consists of Porta sandstone, which was quarried from a tunnel in Wittekindsberg. The last 100 years have left their mark on the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument and extensive restoration has become necessary. Many private individuals have campaigned for the preservation of the monument both morally and financially, as the founding of the Association for the Promotion of the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument e.V. shows, and the restoration is gradually being carried out.
