Tips from the Community
The "Hohe Berg" (High Mountain) was certainly named with a wink. But since it is the highest elevation far and wide, and also has the observation tower, you have a fantastic panoramic view - in good weather, all the way to Bremen!

Small info from the web: In the art area "Wald-Weg-Zeichen" between the Kreismuseum Syke and Syker Vorwerk, forest visitors encounter wooden art objects that thematize the connections and interpenetrations of nature and artistic creation in various ways. The sculptures in the Syker Friedeholz refer to their natural surroundings or to landmarks that are already in the forest. On the path between the Kreismuseum and Syker Vorwerk, walkers can rediscover the forest as a medium of culture in this field of tension between nature and art and experience the connection between everyday life and art.

The old station now houses the "Tasse und Teller" cafe. They serve coffee, cake, and small dishes, but don't expect large portions, and the service drops off abruptly once served. It's a real shame. Perhaps the view of the heritage railway, which departs from here every weekend between May and October, as well as on Advent weekends, makes up for it. Those interested are also welcome to visit the maintenance workshop on operating days, where additional vehicles can be viewed.
