Opening of the Panoramatour Ottensteiner Hochebene

The Ottenstein plateau is one of the most scenically attractive areas in the district of Holzminden. Nestled in the Solling-Vogler Nature Park, with views of the Weser Valley and the rolling hills of Lower Saxony, it forms the hiking area around the municipality of Ottenstein.

Panoramatour as a Themed Trail

The Panoramatour is designed as a well-maintained themed trail that leads through the most beautiful parts of the plateau. Information stations on the geology, flora, fauna, and history of the region accompany hikers, turning the route into an open-air educational path.

Season Opening as an Invitation

The opening on May 31, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM, is more than just a formal start to the season. It is an invitation to hiking enthusiasts to rediscover the plateau or explore it for the first time. Small activities along the route, possibly guided hikes, and gastronomic offerings make the day an experience.

Solling-Vogler Nature Park

The Ottenstein plateau is part of the Solling-Vogler Nature Park, one of the largest contiguous forest areas in Lower Saxony. Beech and spruce forests, meadows, small streams, and viewpoints characterize the landscape. Those who hike here experience a quiet, almost meditative and atmospheric nature that offers a welcome contrast to urban life.

Family and Hiking Program

The Panoramatour is also suitable for families. The paths are well-maintained, the inclines are moderate, and the information stations are designed to make learning about nature and history fun for children too. Places to stop for refreshments in Ottenstein and the surrounding villages complete the day.
