Between Hannover, Osnabrück and Göttingen lie the beautiful forested hills of the Weserbergland. Towering viewpoints, idyllic forest paths, babbling brooks and atmospheric moors provide ample opportunity for wonderfully varied hiking Tours. In this Collection, we’ve put together a selection of hikes for the whole family.

Eight easygoing loops await, offering relaxation and enjoyment for young and old alike. Hike through vast forests and forget the cares of everyday life. Join the kids on a fun-filled themed hike with interactive stations. In Sievershausen, you can meet elves; while in Silberborn, the ghostly Hochmoorgeist spirit awaits; and on the nature experience trail on the Lügder Schildberg, you become acquainted with the various inhabitants of the forest. The Tours in the Harrl, on the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Weg and at the Gröninger Feld promise serenity and natural beauty.

All the walks start from car parks, while some are also accessible by public transport. Forest bathing, easygoing trails and rest areas are guaranteed. Set off for the Weserbergland and explore nature with your children.
