River and ridgelines
The Weser shapes a landscape of wooded hills, villages and riverside paths.
A few highlights
Hohenstein in the Süntel offers striking limestone cliffs and broad views. Schaumburg Castle adds a historic destination, while Hameln’s old town provides a different perspective. Rühle and the river bend near Pegestorf bring the valley landscape into focus.
