The best hikes from bus stations around Lutter

Interesting figure in the stream.

Perfect resting place to cool off in the water, eat and take a nap.

The path is now in good condition

Somewhat hidden parking lot - for all those who want to come to heaven by car.

The former country house in Schelploh also has a very interesting history. You can read about it at https://vergessene-orte.blogspot.com/2009/05/landhaus-schelploh.html. A very interesting conversation was with an older lady in the village itself, who told me that most of the buildings and also the land and forest areas belong to the Bahlsen family from Hanover.

The Schelploh country house has had various uses over the decades. Some people have probably had the opportunity to take a look inside. It has now become a "lost place." Access to the grounds is prohibited. Therefore, only photos of the driveway are allowed, otherwise it would be proven that one had been on the premises. The once proud country house in Schelploh has a long and eventful history. It begins in 1905, when Ernst H. Ä. Becker sold his Schelploh farm, with approximately 245 hectares of land, for approximately 118,000 German marks to the Hamburg merchant and shipping magnate Bernhard Blumenfeld. Blumenfeld planned to build a villa in the Harvestehude style near the farm building, at an expense that was remarkable for the southern heath region. Blumenfeld commissioned the construction of the country house in 1906. A spacious complex was created at enormous expense. The villa is surrounded by an approximately five-hectare site, for which one of the most important landscape architects of the early 20th century, Cologne's director of gardening, Fritz Encke, designed a park and garden complex in early 1912. The project was undertaken by one of the most renowned gardening companies in Northern Germany, Jacob Ochs from Hamburg – although the villa already had a new owner by this time. For various reasons, Blumenfeld no longer felt entirely at home in Schelploh. His request for designation as an independent estate district was repeatedly denied. Schelploh remained part of the political municipality of Dalle. This, and probably also health reasons, prompted him to sell his property in Schelploh in September 1912. In September 1912, the estate and country house were sold to Commercial Councillor Reinhard Steffens from Berlin for 400,000 marks (the Cellesche Zeitung mentions 650,000 marks, see below). The purchase agreement states, among other things: "(...) This refers to the entire property owned by the seller in Dalle. Furthermore, the seller does not guarantee that the exact size stated will be available. (...) Only family portraits, mementos, antlers harvested by the seller himself, and wine stocks are to be excluded; the latter can be taken over by the buyer upon request against payment of half the purchase price paid."

In Marwede the girl Heide sits in the water of the Lutter. When the heather blossoms, she gets a lovingly plaited heather wreath on her head, and in winter a warming wool hat. The villagers take care of their heath. The Marweder thus express the importance of the place where Heide sits in the water for the town. A mill has stood here since 1438. Up until the 1960s, water power was used to grind grain and oil and saw wood. The girl Heide sitting in the water is an art installation by the Braunschweig artist Petra Förster. She implemented the heather theme as a landscape, first name and plant in an interesting way.
