Shelter with a view of Aerzen

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This shelter offers very good protection against wind and rain. But there are also benches in front of the hut from which you can enjoy the great view. An ideal place for the snack.

Königseiche (Fallen Pedunculate Oak)

Highlight • Natural Monument

This old, gnarled oak tree (Quercus robur), which was overturned by hurricane in autumn 2014, lies on the "Hansaweg" X9 from Herford to Hameln (6 stages together approx. 75 km) at the beginning of the last stage as well as from the page http: //www.hansaweg .de proposed. The oak could have become about 350 years old. Whether the name comes from a rest of Napoleon on his way on the army road to the east, William IV Henry, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and King of Hanover (1765 to 1837) here once signed a contract or the tree "only "so is called because he stood as a former Hudeeiche in the Königsförder forest is not to clarify. These are the naming theories. The tree should remain at this point and pass (source "DEWEZET" from 01.11.2014). The view over Aerzen is beautiful and the path here is a pure hiking trail and not a farm ..

View of Aerzen from the Waldquelle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The beer garden is very cozy and inviting. From there, some tours of the Erzener hiking trails can be started. A long-distance hiking trail leads past there.

Münchhausen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Hilmar von Münchhausen built today's Münchhausen Castle from the former manor in the 16th century. The castle also became known primarily for its collection of plants. In the 18th century it was the largest in Europe. Even at that time, the castle was the focus of excursions and cultural events. It became a hotel from 2002 to 2004. During this time it was extensively restored and today you can indulge in the former luxury inside: schlosshotel-muenchhausen.com.

Tithe Redemption Monument near Grupenhagen

Highlight • Monument

Beautiful route in the north of Lünigsberg
"In the year 1833 peasants were released according to the Hannoversche separation order from the hand and tensioning services, the tithes and other payments in kind against the payment of a replacement.
The then master of Schwöbber Castle, Otto von Münchhausen, demanded a transfer fee of 25 times the value of the annual services and fees in the form of 180 acres (450,000 square meters) of land adjacent to his estates.
The Grupenhäger farmers finally agreed with Otto von Münchhausen on the granting of 119 acres of arable land and pasture as well as the payment of 3583 thalers, ten groschen and six pfennigs - the monetary value of 61 acres at that time.
But only a few farmers could pay the transfer fee. Some financed the amount through land sales, and most had to borrow capital from credit institutions. Only ten farms remained interest-free at that time. The amicable implementation of the replacement is still reminiscent today of 1834 built Zehntablösungsdenkmal at Grupenhagen.
"What you have from your fathers, get it to own it. What one does not benefit is a heavy burden, only the moment can be created, he can use, "reads the west-facing inscription of the monument, which at first glance looks like the ruins of an old field barn, but this has never been a barn The site was chosen because it was the former border between the lands of Schwöbber Castle and the village of Grupenhagen.
With the exemption from the tithe donation, a 296-year commitment to the men at Schloss Schwöbber came to an end for the Grupenhäger farmers. The last tithing died in 1872 at the age of 97 years. Today, the Cultural and Heritage Association Grupenhagen maintains regularly the venerable walls among the centuries-old oaks "(Source: westliches-weserbergland.de/sagen-maerchen/das-zehntabloesungsdenkmal).
