At the intersection of 'Unter den Linden' and 'Taubenholzweg' in Kolshorn stands an old transformer tower, no longer in use. The NABU (Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union) ensured it was repurposed: www.stadtmarketing-lehrte.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/NABU%20-%20Tierhotel%20(Trafoturm) www.haz.de/lokales/umland/lehrte/kolshorn-hat-jetzt-ein-storchennest-AV56WAVEX3TIAYCA3NF3DTAS7M.html

In the heart of Kolshorn, on the village square at Bürgermeister-Fuge-Straße, stands a tower with a clock at its top. How the words 'clock' and 'tower' came to be swapped in the name of this landmark can be found here: www.stadtmarketing-lehrte.de/Sehensw%C3%BCrdigkeiten/75

No swell, no surf! Just behind Leineschloss Palace and the Schlossbrücke (Palace Bridge) lies Hanover's standing wave. Inspired by Munich's Eisbach wave, Hanover's counterpart has been attracting surf-loving city dwellers since 2023. The wave is about eight and a half meters wide and is controlled by a hydraulic weir. The club can adjust the wave height to the water level and the surfer's skill level using an app. Surfing is done in booked time slots. You can book slots here: https://www.enercity-leinewelle.de/

The fire station with its hose tower, built in 1949, stands in the village square. Next to it is a bell tower with a clock, erected in 1998. The bell tower had been dismantled from the former schoolhouse, which is now privately owned. After restoration, the tower was placed in the village square.

A lovely path along the banks of the Leine River. The traffic on the city ring road is a nuisance, but that's what happens when you make car enthusiasts into city planners.

The summit cross on the Kronsberg marks Hanover's highest point – 118 meters above sea level. It stands on an artificially raised observation hill on the southeastern outskirts of the city, near the Expo site. From here, you can enjoy a sweeping view of the city, the Deister Mountains, and the surrounding countryside.
