Kronensee Circular Walk

From the car park, the route first takes you through or across the River Hase, then continues to the right along the river until a flight of steps leads down to Lake Kronensee. The route then climbs up to Bietendorfer Berg and into the woods, before heading downhill again towards the Hase Valley and back to the starting point.

The local hill of the “Wellingers”, as the villagers usually call themselves, is the Beutling, at the foot of which there is also a car park for walkers. For centuries, the Beutling served the people of Wellingholzhausen as communal land, which was managed as coppice woodland. As a result, along the way – particularly near the summit – you’ll come across impressive beech trees that were coppiced for timber, then allowed to grow wild again and are now overgrown.

In Preußisch Oldendorf, the Wiehen Mountains are home to a number of circular walking routes. These routes lead through a landscape of gentle hills and offer sweeping panoramic views. Historic sites and nature reserves are accessible along the carefully signposted paths. The area offers a variety of options for walks and extended excursions, allowing visitors to experience the distinctive character of the Wiehen Mountains.
