You have a great view of the Marienmünster Abbey across the pond. Whether spring, summer, autumn or winter - a great photo motif at any time of the year.

Hungerbergturm Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower is made of solid wood and is 26.4 meters high. I think the look is great. I had to push my bike for the last 600 meters because it was very rough ... And very warm.

July 28, 2021,Abtei Marienmünster - Burg Oldenburg - Hungerberg
When the weather was nice, we started at Marienmünster Abbey.

Along quiet paths and a very small stretch of road we went to Oldenburg Castle - which is still inhabited.

Through fields and varied paths it went to the Hungerberg with its chapel and the observation tower - unfortunately the view was not that clear.
Back at the abbey we …

After the Christmas 🎄 holidays with rather shorter walks 😉, there was one last circular hike in 2022 today.
I walked the panorama trail a few years ago. It offers beautiful views of the landscape in and around the city of Marienmünster. The path is marked with A 3, sometimes I deviated a bit 😊.
I started in Vörden, the …

Hikable Germany,
a delightful tour on the Panorama Trail in the Teutoburg Forest, specifically around Marienmünster with its beautiful abbey.
A very beautiful tour with plenty of variety. Starting with the abbey (closed on Mondays), the tour continues along numerous fields and through diverse forests to Oldenburg Castle, dating back to the 1100s. After a quick refreshment, the tour continues …

From the parking lot at the Marienmünster Abbey, we went on the A3 circular hiking trail. Very nice and varied route, unfortunately there was no opportunity to take a break with a bench and table or a refuge. Some of the benches were really old and not very inviting. Well .... 🤷‍♀️

From Vörden, we first walk a steep path up the 325 m high Hungerberg. 111 steps later, we reach the observation tower with a magnificent panoramic view. Our next destination is already visible from here: the Benedictine Abbey of Marienmünster. It dates back to the 12th century and is one of the best-preserved monasteries in North Rhine-Westphalia. We continue on …

Today we hike the panoramic circular route around the Marienmünster Abbey. Our path leads us through beautiful old beech forests, past small streams and ponds.
Oldenburg rises proudly in the distance. We circle it generously before the further path leads us over a windy plateau.
Along old oaks we go down to Papenhöfen. This part of the path is particularly …

There are several hiking routes signposted from Marienmünster Vörden, the Hungerberg Oldenburg panoramic tour is the longest.
My recommendation: definitely take a detour with a tour of the Marienmünster abbey grounds, then cross the car park at the forum to the idyllic forest pond and enjoy the view of the abbey from there. Unfortunately, you have to go twice along …
