Franzl wandert 🥾
February 26, 2026, Ev.-Luth. St.-Petri-Kirche Landolfshausen

The beautiful St. Petri Church stands in Landolfshausen. It is a plastered hall church with a bell tower at the front. The church was built between 1795 and 1798 by the master builder Georg Heinrich Borheck. The entrance area is emphasized on the front facade by a projecting bay and an open staircase.

Near the Mackenröder Spitze, at 427 m the highest point of the Göttingen Forest, there is a beautiful shelter and a memorial stone.
