Weird lost place with a hunting lodge on stilts in the middle of the forest, with a garage for the service car and a pool. Who would want to hide from whom here?

Great view over the lake and, in calm weather, the sky is impressively reflected in the water.

The Hoppenerhaus in Celle, Poststraße 8 corner Rundestraße, is considered the most magnificent half-timbered house in Celle's old town. The building, erected in 1532 "on behalf" of the Duke, was named after the Celle district clerk and treasurer Simon Hoppener. The presumed wood sculptor was Master Simon Stappen. The 400-year-old half-timbered house burned down on October 11, 1932, losing its old roof; only "with the utmost effort [was it possible] to protect the carved facades from the effects of the fire". The interior of the building is shown by preserved (floor) plans of the condition around 1910.

You can't necessarily tell from the outside, but Celle's oldest known half-timbered house was first mentioned in 1522.

Coming from the railway line, before the 2nd path branching off to the left, a trail goes into the forest on the left. About 400 m to the hunting lodge.

The Hoppener House, dating from 1532, is one of the most impressive timber-framed buildings in Celle's old town. It was built during the town's expansion under Duke Ernst the Confessor and was erected for the ducal steward, Simon Hoppener. The six-story, richly projecting gable features an exceptionally detailed carved facade with figures, mythical creatures, and ornaments – a masterpiece of the North German Renaissance. As a prestigious burgher's house, it symbolizes the prosperity of the early modern period and is still considered one of Celle's most magnificent examples of timber-framed architecture. www.celle.de

At Heiligen Kreuz 26 stands the oldest surviving timber-framed house in Celle's old town. First mentioned in 1522, it is considered the oldest securely dated building within Celle's extensive collection of timber-framed buildings. It is a gable-fronted timber-framed house with a saddle roof, featuring stepped gables projecting from story to story and Gothic ornamentation in the gable area. It is a typical example of the early construction phase of Celle's old town, which spanned approximately 600 years. Celle boasts around 400 preserved timber-framed houses; this building marks the oldest dated structure. It thus stands at the beginning of the development of one of Germany's densest and most impressive collections of timber-framed buildings. Celle.de

The Old Town Hall in Celle is a masterpiece of the Weser Renaissance. When Duke Otto the Strict commissioned the town of Celle to be laid out according to his plans in 1292, the town hall was also built on the market square. The building is an impressive testament to the ducal rule. It was expanded and richly decorated in the 14th and 16th centuries. The north gable is a masterpiece of the Weser Renaissance. Gothic cross vaults can still be found in the Ratskeller (town hall cellar). The Old Town Hall, one of the oldest buildings in the city, consists of two sections. https://www.celle.de/Stadt/%C3%9Cber-Celle/Altes-Rathaus.php?object=tx,3747.714.1&ModID=47&FID=3747.303.1&NavID=3747.90&La=1
