The Georgsplatz and Toppiusplatz in the Deister near Wennigsen are historical sites closely associated with mining, hunting, and forestry. The Georgsplatz was created as a meeting point for miners and was supplemented in the 19th century by a royal hunting lodge. Opposite lies the Toppiusplatz, which was formerly used for hunting ceremonies and gatherings, and today still commemorates events and people from that era through monuments. Today, both squares primarily serve as quiet resting and excursion spots in the Deister.

The Cecilienhöhe is a good starting point for hikes in the Deister, but the noise of the motorway is very disturbing
