Hetelingen Deserted Village

Highlight • Historical Site

After all, this location even has its own sign on the federal highway 188 between Burgdorf and Gifhorn, which runs about 1 km north! Then it must be great... well, as a cyclist you get off without further ado and should first look at the updated information board, actually the most interesting thing ;-)
Unfortunately you can't see much, apart from a few boulders with ominous indentations. It is not even known when this desert was created.
But still good enough for a few minute break ;-)

Kleiner Stern (Burgdorfer Holz)

Highlight • Structure

A striking small fork in a total of three paths in Burgdorfer Holz.
A signpost points to its big brother, the "Big Star", about 2 km further west! There you can also find the direction of the “Little Star”.


In fact, it is said that Hermann Löns often visited the hunting lodges in Burgdorfer Holz, which were located at the “Little Star” and belonged to the Hanover Hunting Club (today the Heidhof, until 1994 under the management of the Wahrendorff Anstalten!). Löns is also supposed to go for walks here
with his girlfriend Hanna Fuess!

The Heimatbund is also the erector of the cross (see inscription)!

Great Star (Burgdorf Wood)

Highlight • Natural Monument

Around the crossroads (the so-called "eagle-bearers") grow in the middle several, in part beautiful, old oak trees. This "oak circle" was put under protection because of its rarity and peculiarity and is lgeliestet as nature monument: ND-H 060!
In the old days one should have met here for the big hunt in Burgdorfer Holz.
From here you can explore on foot, but also by bike in a total of 5 different directions nature. The place also offers a seat for the rest!
