The Giebichenstein in Stöckse is considered the largest erratic boulder in Lower Saxony and is definitely worth a break. Those eager to climb can also manage to ascend it. Not far from it, there is a playground on the outskirts of Stöckse, and you can also reach the Stöckser See via footpaths.

At the site of the former "Hansa" oil field near Hademstorf in the Allermarsch region, approximately 160,000 tons of crude oil were produced between 1941 and 1970. Today, two restored horsehead pumps, installed on the foundations of the "Hansa 6" and "Hansa 9" production sites, commemorate this technical history. The pumps were used to bring oil to the surface from depths of up to 1,350 meters. Together with the historic oil bridge, they represent significant evidence of the regional oil boom—well-documented by the Aller-Leine Valley Navigator and open to the public as a technical monument.

Still closed in July 2025!!! It'll probably last until at least December 2025😔. Then the next cycling season will be over. Unbelievable.

At the beginning of May 1948, sheep, cattle, and wild animals fell victim to the previously unknown "Beast" almost every night in the vast heath and moorland areas surrounding Lichtenmoor in Lower Saxony. The population lived in constant fear and anxiety for their livestock. It was believed that a puma or a tiger, or possibly even a wolverine, was wreaking havoc there. A lioness with two cubs was also reportedly seen. The "Beast" was said to have killed over 100 sheep, 65 cattle, and numerous wild animals. Because meat was scarce in the postwar period, it is now assumed that there were many illegal slaughters. The appearance of the "Beast" made it easy to cover them up. Daily, hundreds of men, farmers, hunters, and police hunted this monster. Then, on August 27, 1948, the farmer Herrman Gaatz from Eilte killed the "Lichtenmoor Shrike" – a male wolf of considerable size. The Lower Saxony State Hunting Association erected a wolf stone at the spot where the large male wolf was killed. From the former Eilte train station, walk 2.5 km along a narrow road into the forest and find the wolf stone on the right side of the path. The skeleton in the museum archive and a single specimen of a head still serve as reminders of the predator from the moorland. The legend of the "Lichtenmoor Shrike" has become a piece of regional history.
