It is assumed that the three castles on Lake Kastorf represented the political and cultural center of the Tollenser people.

The Wildberg Castle Wall is located in the municipality of Wildberg on the eastern shore of Lake Kastorf. It consists of a smaller main castle and two arched outer castles and was built in the 7th or 8th century. The castle complex has been repeatedly renovated and expanded over time. Together with the castle wall island on Lake Kastorf, these castles presumably form the political and cultural center of the Tollenser people.

The climb up the 55-meter-high Chimborazo is worthwhile. There's a summit cross and a summit book, but unfortunately, no view.

Not just a large stone, but a boulder that was once brought to this place by the glaciers. If you look more closely, you will see a weathered inscription that calls the stone the "King of the Centuries". It is one of the largest boulders in the North German lowlands. The stone has a circumference of around 15 metres and a volume of around 35 m³.

Years ago we used to regularly get our Easter water from here. Now it has been dry for a long time. Is this climate change?

Just a few years ago the Suhlquelle was filled with water, we got Easter water here and tadpoles grew here. Now only the sign reminds us of the old spring. It remains a beautiful place and worth a hike 💕

The Great Stone is the largest erratic boulder in northern Germany after the Markgrafensteine and the second largest known boulder in northern Germany after the 550-ton Buskam, which lies in the water of the Baltic Sea. The Great Stone probably came to its current location during the Vistula Ice Age.
