The tower can be climbed and when the weather is nice you have a fantastic panoramic view of the Calenberger Land in the north and the Weserbergland in the south. There is also a good place to stop for refreshments in the operator's restaurant.

Old Baptismal Font

Highlight • Natural Monument

The impressive natural monument of the "Old Baptism" raises questions. Whether it is used as a baptismal font or simply a 3 x 3 meter cube-shaped sandstone block - it is definitely a worthwhile excursion destination in a scenic location.
