From Hausberge, stage 2 heads east through the Weser mountains to Nammen. The route continues towards Kleinenbremen, ending at the castle in Bückeburg.

The trail runs from Hausberge in an easterly direction. After 5.5 km through the Weser Mountains, you reach the village of Nammen with the St. Laurentius Chapel, which is well worth seeing. It was built in 1523 and is the oldest half-timbered chapel in Germany. After Nammen, the route continues in a southerly and then easterly direction and after a further 6 km you reach the village of Kleinenbremen. A Romanesque chapel was first mentioned here in 1181. In 1483, a village church was built on this site, followed by a neo-Gothic church in 1893. A special feature here is the clockwork, whose west minster strike is identical to that of "Big Ben" in London. After Kleinenbremen, the route continues north towards Bückeburg. The stage destination is reached after a further 3.5 km. Worth seeing is Bückeburg Castle with its 16th century castle chapel and the town church, which was built between 1611 and 1615 in the Weser Renaissance style, making it the second oldest Protestant place of worship after the Reformation.

Stamping points: Nammen Chapel, Bückeburg town church
