🌻 History meets yellow splendor: St. Petri Church Bornum This highlight is far more than just a beautiful photo spot by the wayside. The St. Petri Church is a real piece of history at the foot of the Elm. A look into the past Anyone who stops here stands before a church with a long tradition. While the current appearance is strongly shaped by the renovation in 1860, the origins of the community reach much further back. Particularly striking is the west tower, whose massive masonry is reminiscent of the defensibility of old village churches. Bornum itself was historically closely connected with the nearby Imperial Cathedral in Königslutter – you can literally feel the breath of the history of the Braunschweiger Land here.

An almost hidden back entrance to the Gut Hedwigsburg castle park! Beautifully situated, but the castle was destroyed in World War II.

You'll want to take some time here to enjoy everything. There's a large information board with interesting facts. The photo board in the park gives a good impression of what the castle looked like before its destruction. A short break by the pond rounds off the experience.
