Porta Westfalica: Excursion to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial
Activities: We visited Kaiser Wilhelm Monument. We walked up, took in the views, and visited the info center. "We have Kaiser weather," we said! There's also a panorama restaurant, a small playground, and a kiosk. "Why is the Kaiser standing there?" the child asked
Highlights: The views from the monument were great, especially the view over the Weser. The child enjoyed the small playground with the climbing frame and slide. The info center had an exhibit on local history, including a dinosaur discovery, which was enjoyed ✨
