Klüt

Klüt is a mountain near Hamelin that rises 231 meters and overlooks the surrounding Weserbergland region. The summit features an observation tower where visitors can see across the landscape.

The mountain served as a natural watchtower for Hamelin's defense in medieval times and was an important landmark. This role as a strategic position shaped the mountain's importance over centuries.

The observation tower at the summit overlooks Hamelin's old town, where the Pied Piper legend is set. Visitors can take in the cityscape from above, which shapes how people understand this local story.

A hiking trail of about 12 kilometers circles the mountain and offers natural forest paths with rest areas along the way. The ascent to the summit is moderate and easily manageable.
