We call this point “the beautiful view” and this name says it all. When you come out of the forest, you reach this viewing point from which you have a clear view of the surrounding villages and the nearby city of Wolfsburg. A place to rest and enjoy.

The protestant church of St. Maria and St. Cyriakus was built at the end of the 15th century as a hall church made of quarry stone. The church tower resembles a defense tower with its loopholes. Inside hangs a bell from 1418.

Quite an impressive church for such a small place. With its large double tower, it almost looks like a small cathedral.
