A lovely seating area set up by the "Experience City & Nature Working Group" in Lehrte City Marketing. Funded by the EU and the Hanover Region. A big request to everyone stopping here: Please take your own trash with you! (It really goes without saying!)

Great lake, with a beautiful evening atmosphere. Unfortunately sometimes a bit loud due to the nearby A2, depending on how the wind is.

One of several ponds in the Hanover area called "blue lake" (none of which are actually blue). This one is interesting microscopically, e.g. I once found tons of tardigrades here.

A bicycle on a tree in the forest. Who, when and why is beyond my knowledge. A little off the beaten path but not to be overlooked.
