Tips from the Community
A shelter and fresh spring water invite you to rest. A memorial stone commemorates the 10th Pioneer Battalion. A water intake point was built in 1937/38. It was named Böss-Quelle, probably after the forester Bössenroth who worked here.

Hikers can get fresh spring water from the Bösquelle. The water flows from the source through the Fuchsbachtal water catchment area north to the valley.

If you are on the cycle path from Großmunzel to Ostermunzel, you will come to an impressive natural monument, the Ostermunzel boulder. The boulder lies on the "Hohen Saalfeld", as the Mühlenberg (67.5 m) is also called. The rock was discovered by a farmer while plowing in autumn 2013. It has a circumference of around 10 m, is around 2.60 m high and around 3.20 m wide. Its weight is 27.5 tons. The age is estimated between one and two billion years. The boulder, made of gneiss, probably comes from southern Sweden and migrated to its present location during the Saale Ice Age, i.e. around 200,000 to 250,000 years ago. Right next to it, a hiking rest area invites you to linger. From here, the view can wander over the wide Calenberger Lössbörde to the Deister. (Source: information board on site)

In earlier centuries, today's park area was a moist fen area, which was used to mine clay from the 17th century onwards. The former clay pit later filled with water. This resulted in the originally much smaller Annateich. From 1936 to 1939 the pond was greatly expanded for the park in the local recreation area. The lake consists of an eastern and a western part, which are separated by a dam that is broken in two places. The water is slightly cloudy, the water depth is in the range of 1-2 m. In the western part the water is slightly deeper than in the eastern part. Due to the separation into two parts with only minimal connecting points, the Annateichen are also colloquially spoken of in the plural in Hanover. Source: Wikipedia
