Experience a fascinating journey through time on the Weser Heights Trail! This 48-kilometre hiking trail takes you from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Corvey Abbey to the impressive Hanover Cliffs.

Enjoy picturesque views of the Weser Valley and the surrounding mountains. One highlight is the Weser Skywalk, which offers breathtaking views. Discover the unique limestone beech forests of the Upper Weser, home to rare species such as the wild service tree and yew.

These species-rich forests provide a valuable habitat for endangered animal and plant species.
