The Wurzelbrink is a hill south of Lübbecke which, at , is the second highest peak in the Wiehen Hills in north Germany. Immediately to the south is the no less majestic Kniebrink (). There is an old and rather small watchtower, the ''Wartturm'', on top of the Wurzelbrink, which was built in 1857, whose outstanding views of the local area are partly obscured by the trees that have now grown up around it. == Views == Towards the east the "King of the Wiehen Hills", the Heidbrink (), towers above the surrounding terrain. About 20 years ago, when the trees were much lower, the hills of the Stemweder Berg (also called the Stemme Hills or ''Stemmer Berge''), which are up to high, could be seen in good weather about 25 km away. Between the Wiehen Hills and the Stemweder Berg lies the broad expanse of the Lübbecke Land, that used to form the independent district of ''Kreis Lübbecke'' until the regional reforms of the 1970s. To the northeast, the Großes Torfmoor ("Great Peat Moor") can be made out about 6 km away between the villages of Gehlenbeck/Nettelstedt and the Mittelland Canal. This is the most northerly and largest lowland moor in Westphalia and is a nature reserve. The only wild white storks in Westphalia breed here. To the east the Wiehen Hills run in a curve to the Westphalian Gap a good 25 km away, which is visible in good weather. Unfortunately this view is obstructed today by the tall trees that have grown up; there is only a rather restricted view to the south: in that direction the rolling terrain of the Ravensberg Hollow. On the horizon one can clearly make out the Teutoburg Forest, also called the Osning. Particularly striking is the large TV tower near Bielefeld. In very good conditions, with the aid of binoculars, the sword point of Hermann's Monument (''Hermanns-Denkmal'') can be seen. The ''Mensinger Ravine'' begins on the eastern side of the hill and runs northwards. It is worth noting that if the tower were raised by a few metres, as has been done for the neighbouring observation tower on the Nonnenstein, it would afford the hiker clear views again. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wurzelbrink」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
