Here in Vreschen-Bokel at Aper Tief is the weather shelter. ...Next to the shelter is a beautiful sculpture by Jörg Ridderbusch....The dancing sheep.

Drakamp Godensholt If you set out to explore the origins of the place name Godenholt, you'll quickly be immersed in the exciting, ancient mythological story that even inspired Hollywood to create a multi-part saga. Anthony Hopkins plays the one-eyed but wise god Odin, who directs history in Asgard and, in addition to his family, is surrounded by ravens. In South Germanic usage, Odin is called Wotan or Wodan. From medieval documents, we know that present-day Godensholt was referred to as "Wodansholte," so it can be assumed that a sacred forest dedicated to the god Wodan was once located at this ancient Stone Age settlement in the Apen community. The sound shift from W to G is not uncommon in the development of our language; it is also found in the word "Holte" (wood) to "Wald"

Place name Over the centuries, the place name has been written in different ways: on maps from 1592 and 1806, the place is called "Grot Sander", in 1599 it was called "Grotesande". In 1613 it was called "Grot Sander", in 1645 it was called "Grose sander", in 1719 it was called "Groß Sander". Other spellings are "Groz-Sander" (1804), "Groß-Sander" (1818) and "Groot-Sande" (1889). Today the spelling "Großsander" is officially used. "Sand" is often used as a base word for settlements in "sandy" areas shaped by the Ice Age. The defining word "Groß-" is used to distinguish it from the place "Kleinsander" which lies about 1 km to the south.
