Shortly after the heather areas were linked in 1870/1871, which have been owned by Hof Bockelmann since then, this sheepfold was built. The sheepfold is now a monument and was renovated in 1999.

The small shelter is modeled after a historic beehive... inside, a historic beehive illustrates a bee colony and its individual inhabitants... right next to the shelter, you can also get the corresponding stamp for your hiking pass.

On the way to or from Wilseder Berg, you'll pass this beehive and learn about bees and their honey from the heath. There's also a stamping station here.

Relatively small rest hut with benches and trash cans directly on the Heidschnuckenweg.

Since the 1870s, every heath farm has had heathland, its own herd of sheep and its own beekeeping. The Bockelmann farm's sheep barn served as a summer barn at the time - the surrounding heathland was grazed from here. The farm's herd of Heidschnucke sheep existed until 1972, as one of the last farms - keeping Heidschnucke sheep became uneconomical. For decades, the sheep barn that "survived" has been a popular photo motif for postcards and photo reports, and is also a listed building. The barn is clearly too small for today's large Heidschnucke herds of the Nature Conservation Park Association (up to 1000 animals) - it is therefore only used as a shelter for agricultural machinery.
