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.

A hike to the 20-meter-high Bodo Tower on the Zimmertalskopf is definitely worthwhile. The tower, built in 1978, has a unique steel skeleton construction and is one of the younger towers on the Voglerkamm. However, you should not be afraid of heights to climb the tower, because its special construction means you can always see down through the bars. The tower was named after Knight Bodo, the overlord of the town of Bodenwerder in the 12th/13th century. Today it offers wonderful views towards Ith, the small town of Heinrichshagen, the Weser and Bodenwerder.
