The jetty in the Auepark is a real highlight in this part. Slightly elevated, there is a different view of the landscape.

Monastery Café Brunshausen Sculpture Garden

Highlight • Cafe

The monastery café Brunshausen is located behind the actual monastery building, on the side of the farm shop.
A nice garden to sit and delicious cakes are offered.
Not to be confused with the rose café!

Brunshausen Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

Brunshausen Monastery is a real highlight with ancient history. It can be visited from the grounds of the State Garden Show through the Auepark.
In addition to the well-run museum (with the former monastery church), there are two cafés with a tasty selection and a beautiful garden.

Clus Tower (Wilhelm Tower) near Bad Gandersheim

Highlight • Monument

Shortly after the German-French War (1870-1871) and the resulting founding of the German Reich, the citizens of the city of Gandersheim decided to erect a lookout tower in honor of Emperor Wilhelm I on the Clusberg.
The foundation stone was laid in 1875, but the tower was to be completed 25 years later, with a solemn inauguration on 30 September 1900.
As with other similar projects of that time (see: Gaußturm in Dransfeld), there were also financing problems that delayed the construction, and eventually even led to a change in the construction. First, the entire tower was planned in massive construction, but ultimately only the base was built in stone and the upper part in wood construction set on it.
After the inauguration of the Wilhelmsturm quickly became a popular destination. From the top of the tower, which towered over the treetops, one could - as one might assume - enjoy an impressive panoramic view. The Wilhelmsturm also became a landmark of Gandersheim, which was found on postcards from that time. Here are two examples showing the tower in the planned (unrealized) stone construction: http: //vergessene-orte.blogspot.de/2013/03/wilhelmsturm-in-bad-gandersheim.html

Hermann Vogel Square Grill and Picnic Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Hermann Vogel Platz offers a refuge with a barbecue area and plenty of tables and benches. From here you have a beautiful view of Bad Gandersheim. The place is right on the upper and lower carpet path. From here you can continue to the Wilhelmsturm (approx. 1.3 km).

March 29, 2024,Bad Gandersheim - nach der LAGA

That was a nice round, starting at the former large parking lot for the 2023 State Garden Show.
The route to Clus led via the LAGA grounds in the spa park, the Auepark and the Brunshausen Monastery. Then through the forest and hiking trail no. 2 back to Bad Gandersheim.

Today we hiked from Clus to Gandersheim on excellent trails. For most of the hike, the autumn leaves rustled delightfully under our feet. We took a coffee break at the Rose Café with a delicious monastery cake.
We got back to the car just in time before the rain, so we did everything right 😉
Have a lovely weekend, everyone …
