Here, a staircase leads to the old Brunswick-Schöningen railway. The old railway embankment is now a beautiful sunken lane, and only a few gravel stones along the edge remind us of its former use.

A very beautiful tower on the Heeseberg in a good location between the Elm and Harz. When visibility is good 👀 the Brocken in the Harz is clearly visible!

This rock face, exposed by stone cultivation, reveals many different colors depending on the light. Here you can also clearly see the many layers.
