Gellerser Anfang Boundary Stone
Highlight • Monument
The Georg-Rex stone made of hewn sandstone and named after it with the monogram of the king - consisting of the interwoven capital letters G (George) and R (Rex = Latin king) and the Roman number II, which also has the Roman number I marks the beginning of this anticlockwise petrified border, which at that time surrounded the forest, on the northern edge of the forest area on the way from Kirchgellersen to Putensen (Salzhausen). The inscription reads: "GELLERSER ANFANG", followed by the year "ANNO MDCCXLVI" (1746) and the four other Latin words: "FORESTUM HOCCE TRANSACTIONE ACQUISITUM". Rolf Kliemann translated the message of the stone in the Westergellerser Chronik as follows: "'In 1746 this forest was acquired by Georg II. [...] through comparison with the previous interested parties (farmers)" ".
However, this stone was only set in 1752, and the name Gellerser did not even exist at the beginning of 1746 at the time of the recession, which regulated the new rights and ownership in this "core of the even larger Gellerser woodwork".

Hambörn charcoal hut and sheepfold
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The avenue of trees welcomes you in the Bürgerwald: here you can learn a lot about the tree species and their importance. Trees are planted on another part for special occasions such as weddings and births.
A diverse natural landscape was found here: a wide variety of valuable habitats, such as old deciduous forests, a heathland, hedges, pioneer forests and meadows make this area a lovable natural habitat and recreation area. An old sheepfold with a Koehler hut is located here and can be used for events.
The largest area, however, is made up of a mixed deciduous forest dominated by beeches, which is allowed to develop into a "primeval forest" by renouncing any use. If you want to explore the wider area, you can hike on the Südergellersen corridor trail from here.
Tip: This so-called "natural forest cell" can also be explored with a wheelchair via a barrier-free path. And various nature trails in Südergellersen invite you to explore the surrounding area.
