Kaiser Wilhelm Monument, Porta Westfalica

Highlight • Monument

The memorial consists of Porta sandstone, which was quarried from a tunnel in Wittekindsberg. The last 100 years have left their mark on the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument and extensive restoration has become necessary. Many private individuals have campaigned for the preservation of the monument both morally and financially, as the founding of the Association for the Promotion of the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument e.V. shows, and the restoration is gradually being carried out.

Margarethen Chapel (Margarethenklus)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Margaret (also Margaret's) is a chapel on Wittekindsberg in Barkhausen, a district of Porta Westfalica. Because of its proximity to the Wittekindsburg she is also known as Wittekindskapelle. The exact construction period of the Klus is unknown, its first written mention dates from the year 1224. Possibly it belonged to a Mindener Bishop Milo founded in the year 992 Benedictine monastery, which was relocated to Minden around 1000.

May 16, 2024,Wittekindsburg – Moltketurm Runde von Porta Westfalica

Today the Wiehen Mountains!

Why is it called that? Because it is like a mountain range!...
that's what you hear from locals.

At least 95 km long and a maximum of 10 km wide, a mountain range, completely covered with old, mainly red beech forest.

October 4, 2023,Tour bei Porta Westfalica

Today we finally managed to hike near Kaiser Wilhelm!! It's a great hiking area here. There is a lot to see and once again great views. We stopped at the “Wild Blacksmith”. That was a highlight!! I can only recommend. Next time we'll go to the TV tower opposite. But we will definitely revisit this site again.

April 14, 2022,Frühlingswanderung über Wittekindsburg, Moltketurm Runde von Porta Westfalica

I haven't had such a beautiful spring hike for a very long time.
Blossoms, blossoms, blossoms.
Nature literally explodes around me.
The crowning highlight, however, was the ridge path from "Wilder Schmied".
Beguilingly fragrant carpets of flowers of larkspur, wood anemone, forget-me-not and much more.
Today it was particularly difficult for me to limit myself to about 30 pictures. Too …

July 1, 2021,Kaiser Wilhelm Denkmal, Moltke Turm, Wittekindsburg und Kreuzkirche

Relaxed tour in moderate weather visits Kaiser Wilhelm, who has been on the list for a long time.
It gets really interesting from the Kreuzkirche, past the Moltketurm and the Wittekindsburg towards Herr Kaiser.
You walk directly on the ridge, which consists of a slightly wider hiking trail and a footpath right on the slope.
To desensitize fear of heights, …

August 9, 2024,Unterwegs auf dem Wiehengebirge

Today we were supposed to go to the Kaiser Wilhelm. After a very steep climb we reached the monument. We wanted to enjoy the view of Porta Westfalica from above, but unfortunately the dull weather meant we didn't get any good photos. I just enjoyed the pictures of other Komoot users... I had imagined the Weser breakthrough to be more …

November 21, 2021,Zum Wilden Schmied und zurück! - Eine Herbstwanderung durch das Wiehengebirge.

A short and relaxed autumn tour through our beautiful Wiehengebirge on a weather-wise probably ideal November day.

The start and finish of this tour was the hiker's car park at the foot of Porta Westfalica. From here we went on the southern route to the "Wilden Schmied" and from there back to Porta Westfalica, where one of the highlights was …
