Interesting hiking excursion in Höxter, North Rhine-Westphalia.
This tour takes you into the beautiful Teutoburg Forest Nature Park to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Corvey Castle. The enchanting property was built as a monastery during the Benedictine order and is 1200 years old. All the buildings are still in excellent condition. Surrounded by vines, meadows and the ducal garden, the complex rises majestically above the neighbouring Weser. The outside area is also interesting: after a tour of the interior, it is worth visiting the Corvey Wine House, the tea house and the moat that surrounds the magnificent grounds. There are refreshment stops in the castle. Accessible by bus and train.
