Deister Coal Trail in the Schleifbach and Stockbach Valleys

Highlight • Trail

The Deister Coal Paths take you to the highlights of mining in a picturesque setting - above ground. But other striking and interesting locations are not neglected either. The monastery, the Deister open-air theater with cannon wall, the stone carving and the toboggan run have many exciting stories to tell.

Wennigsen Waterwheels

Highlight • Structure

Really nice and lovingly designed. You can hear the clatter of the small blacksmith's hammers from far away. If you're travelling with children, it's definitely a must. :)

Annaturm and Annaturm Forest Inn

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Annaturm is great and you have a great view from the tower. The Annaturm is only open during certain opening hours. In the small restaurant there is good food and drink.

The first time this far and with these climbs, after the long forced break, was a bit tough, but I managed it with a great group.

Today I basically did a biathlon. I cycled in the morning and went hiking in the afternoon. Hiking in the Deister for the second time in a row, with the family. This time to the Annaturm.

A round through the Deister in glorious weather, that's something. Especially when you are almost alone and can enjoy the sunshine in the Annaturm beer garden with food and drink.😊😎
