But does the saying "Go over the Deister" actually come from there???

The Schwedenfindling or also Deisterfindling is a glacial erratic that was found in 2012 in the Deister near Egestorf. In 2020, it was designated as a natural monument under the designation „Deister- or Schwedenfindling“. The unusual altitude of 365 m above sea level at the find spot is of scientific importance. It proves that the Deister, contrary to previous assumptions, was glaciated up to its ridge during at least one of the last three ice ages. Glacial erratics are not transported this far on the surface of glaciers. A glacier thickness of at least 50 m would have been required to transport such a heavy erratic. Therefore, it is assumed that the glacier crossed the mountains, which are a maximum of 405 m high. Gradient calculations result in an ice cover of up to 500 m for present-day Hanover.

A small, stony path leads left past the hut to the Alte Taufe, about 100 m away.

Here is the proof that the Earth was not created in 6 days. This stone took thousands of years to migrate from Sweden to the Harz.

The Devil's Pulpit (Teufelskanzel) is a rocky outcrop in the Deister hills near Nienstedt, designated as a natural monument. It lies within the Devil's Chamber (Teufelskammer), a section of the state forest in the Deister hills between the Nordmann Tower (Nordmannsturm) and the Old Baptismal Font (Alte Taufe). Besides the forestry use of the beech forest, there was a quarry east of the Devil's Pulpit near the Nordmann Tower, as well as several mine shafts, such as the Devil's Chamber Tunnel (Teufelskammerstollen) about 500 meters west of the Devil's Pulpit, for extracting coal. Numerous other smaller sandstone blocks can be found on the Deister slopes in the vicinity of the Devil's Pulpit. This is due to the varying weathering of the sandstone and marl layers from the Lower Cretaceous period that outcrop on the southwest slope and dip to the northeast.

On a snowshoe hike, the Wallmannhütte in the Deister hills becomes a quiet, almost magical place. Surrounded by snow-covered forest, it offers a welcome break where you can pause for a moment and enjoy the winter tranquility.
