WS Stamp 2: Königszinne
Highlight • Viewpoint
From the castle-like observation tower you can enjoy a wide view over the Münchhausen town of Bodenwerder and the Weser valley, 255 meters above sea level on a ledge of the Vogler. The Königszinne got its name in honor of George V, the last king of Hanover. The massive building is made of sandstone that was quarried directly behind the Königszinne. Some of the old sandstone pits can still be seen in the forest today. Designed in the historicist style, the Königszinne looks like an old castle ruin. Many observation towers were built in this architectural style at the time, for example the Bismarck Tower on the neighboring hilltop. The Königszinne was ceremoniously inaugurated on the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig on October 18, 1863.
Tip along the way: The Königszinne is not only a popular place for hikers, you can also watch paragliders up here. They use the Königszinne as a launch site for practice flights.

The line was built, or rather, completed, in 1872. It operated independently and connected Lenne/Vorwohle with Eschershausen, Kirchbraak, Bodenwerder, Helen, Grohnde, and Emmertal.
