Krause Buche (Twisted Beech Tree)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The tree is a rare special form of the common beech. In June 1952, the "curly beech" was burned by a lightning strike. The current "curly beech" emerged from its roots around 1920 and thus ensures its succession.

January 6, 2022,Rundtour Bergkirchen - Wilder Schmied - über schmale Pfade

Today in the fantastic weather, laced your boots and hiked from Bergkirchen to the Wilder Schmied on mostly narrow paths. Nice view of the north German lowlands on one side and towards the Weser on the other. That was just wonderful. 13km / 290HM

The paths in the Wiehen Hills are really very varied, especially beyond the ridge path; at the moment, however, they are very soft and even muddy. The fresh green of the beech trees is captivating!

October 24, 2021,Von Bergkirchen zum Dützener Berg und zurück

Mushrooms, colorful foliage and sunshine. An autumn hike just the way I like it. From Bergkirchen to Dützener Berg and back again. 13.5 KM / 270 HM partly on the Mühlensteig and Wittekindweg, but also enjoyed wonderful side routes. Minimal clearcuts were also there, but not to be compared with passages in the direction of Kahle Wart. #hiking #hikingadventures #hikinggirl …

Easy route to get used to after winter. Unfortunately there is a frequent risk of collision with overly fast bikers who consider the ridge path to be their own. Motivation is high when the destination is the Wilde Schmied and the great hospitality and beautiful view from there.

Before the new heatwave that is now arriving, Cooky and I went out into our beloved nature one last time yesterday. Already on our first hike in the Wiehengebirge from Porta over the Wilden Schmied and back along the ridge to the Kaiser, I had decided to explore this wild and primeval-looking gem further.
We steered our trusty Skoda from …
