At the site of the former "Hansa" oil field near Hademstorf in the Allermarsch region, approximately 160,000 tons of crude oil were produced between 1941 and 1970. Today, two restored horsehead pumps, installed on the foundations of the "Hansa 6" and "Hansa 9" production sites, commemorate this technical history. The pumps were used to bring oil to the surface from depths of up to 1,350 meters. Together with the historic oil bridge, they represent significant evidence of the regional oil boom—well-documented by the Aller-Leine Valley Navigator and open to the public as a technical monument.

The Old Church of the Holy Cross in Eickeloh was donated in 1296 by the noble von Hodenberg family after several fatal accidents occurred while crossing the Aller River to attend church. It served as a village church until 1868 and was then converted into the burial place of the von Hodenberg family after a new building was constructed. The Gothic brick building features a groin vault in the chancel, a wood-beamed ceiling in the nave, and a largely original oak roof truss dating from 1351. After the church fell into increasing disrepair in the late 19th and 20th centuries, it was extensively restored in the 1990s, during which consecration crosses and pre-Reformation paintings were discovered. Today, it is listed as a historic monument in the Lower Saxony Monument Atlas and is considered a historically significant landmark of the town.

Part of the Leine-Heide cycle path. Highly recommended for those who want to avoid the direct route between Walsrode and Hodenhagen (motorway access and diversion route).
