Worth seeing are the 1200-year-old cathedral with cathedral treasury, St. Mary's Church, St. Martini's Church, St. Simeon's Church and St. Peter's Church. From Minden, the route heads south along the Weser, with the Kaiser Wilhelm monument in view, to Barkhausen. After Barkhausen, the ascent into the Wiehengebirge begins. On the Wittekindsberg you come to Margarethenklus, a chapel that probably belonged to a Benedictine convent founded by Bishop Milo in 992. Nearby are the foundations of a cruciform church from the 9th/10th century. A steep descent begins at the Kaiser Wilhelm monument, after which the path crosses the Weser. After 3 km, the first stage destination is Hausberge.
