Using a small ladder, you can legally climb the 1.5 km long medieval monastery wall of Amelungsborn along the hiking trails and quickly reach the magnificent former Cistercian monastery church of Amelungsborn from the forest.

At the moment the place is closed and neglected. The grass is very high and you can't see much. The view from above should be great.

WS Stamp 14: Kellberg Tower

Highlight • Monument

Unfortunately, we had to move the stamp box due to an incident of vandalism. It is no longer located directly at the Kellberg Tower but about 800 meters away at a signpost on St 4.

Kellberg Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Looks smaller from below than he is. If you are on top, you will be killed by a gigantic view. The drudgery is definitely worth it.

The second tour of the day started in front of the Amelungsborn monastery. After crossing the monastery wall, we went over the monastery grounds ⛪️ on the Klosterstieg to Stadtoldendorf. From there, we climbed steadily uphill to Homburg. The higher we got, the snow❄️ on the path became more and more abundant. The view from the Homburg tower was unfortunately …

This Saturday we went again with @De Höchte to look for hiking treasures in the Wild Homeland (Solling-Vogler region in the Weserbergland)😀.

We started at the Amelungsborn monastery and then walked through Stadtoldendorf to the Homburg castle ruins via the closed path (thanks @Wolle Teicke for the tip to go through, the closure doesn't really make sense😉) to enjoy the …

Hello everyone!
Yesterday we went treasure hunting in the Weserbergland near Stadtoldendorf.
Our first stop was the Cistercian monastery of Amelungsborn. The monastery complex is very beautiful and well preserved. We were able to visit the monastery church from the inside. We then hiked along the Klosterstieg towards Stadtoldendorf. From there we climbed up to the Homburg castle ruins via …

March 8, 2025,Wilde Heimat: Kloster Amelungsborn, Burgruine Homburg, Kellbergturm

Very nice hike based on a tour by Komootians here.
The start is the Evangelical Lutheran Cistercian monastery of Amelungsborn. The path leads through the monastery garden, past the monastery wall over the Hoop to Stadtoldendorf. From there, paths ST 5 and 6 lead to the Grosser Homberg with a great view from the castle ruins. And, as is typical …

Golden October tour.
Unreservedly recommendable.
You have a good view from the Kellberg tower
The ascent to the ruin was a bit tedious because of fallen trees. The ruin itself was also closed, but still worthwhile although unfortunately it is not well maintained.
All in all, beautiful forest paths and a section of asphalt.
The forest restaurant was unfortunately closed.
