Interesting hiking excursion in Höxter, North Rhine-Westphalia.
This tour takes you to the beautiful Teutoburg Forest Nature Park and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Corvey Castle. The enchanting property was created as a monastery during the times of Benedictine religious life and is 1200 years old. All buildings are still excellently preserved. In the midst of vines, meadows and the ducal garden, the complex rises majestically over the adjacent Weser. The outside area is also interesting: After a tour of the inside, it is worth visiting the Corveyer Weinhaus, the tea house and the moat that frames the magnificent complex. There are places to stop for refreshments in the castle. Accessible by bus and train.
