Information
Directions
The starting point is Heinrich-Köppler-Platz (church square) in the center of the village. From there, walk along the Sonnenpfad (X27) to the end of the asphalt road. The path forks here, keep right and continue along the path. After a tight right-hand bend, you can see parts of the village of Lengenbeck on the left through tall spruce trees. The viewpoint is also known as the Lengenbeck Alps. Follow the path further up to the refuge on the Braken. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of a large part of the village. From the hut, follow the path on the right, which remains at the same altitude and leads parallel to the Sonnenpfad trail back to Nordenau (past the village's Schützenhalle).

Sturdy shoes and clothing suitable for the weather are recommended.
