The best traffic-free bike rides around Bad Nenndorf

The Spot Servant is a landmark of Lauenau. I find the figure really authentic!

It was built between 1958 and 1959 as one of the first prestressed concrete bridges in Germany and named after the nearby Café Dornröschen. It is also known for the annual vegetable battle, in which residents of neighboring districts playfully throw old vegetables at each other – a humorous expression of local solidarity and rivalry.

This automatic "translation" of highlight names is terrible. If only they would at least translate (often poorly), but no, even the title I gave in German is being changed. I just renamed it correctly, because my "Café Waldwinkel" had been changed to "Wald Wimmel Café" for some completely incomprehensible reason.

Next to the construction sites for the State Garden Show is the idyllic NABU Oasis, worth a visit.

Originally, where the Mooshütte is today, there was a shelter made of sticks and moss, next to a small pond that was fed by the Hessian spring. As early as 1895, the innkeeper of the Königseiche in Bantorf, Fritz Hecht, had been running the restaurant at the spring with a horse and cart, and only when the weather was good. In 1924, Fritz Hecht had the building of today's Mooshütte built, but it only contained a bar and a kitchen and was only later converted to residential use. In 1940, an ice and storage cellar was built into the mountain behind the Mooshütte, which always had the same temperature in summer and winter. In 1951, the steel construction company Preussag began emergency mining facilities around the Mooshütte. In 1954, the hall was added to the left of the building. Five years later, the Mooshütte was taken over by the daughter of the innkeeper Friedolf Hecht and her family, the Watermann family, who continued to expand the Mooshütte. After mining ceased in 1960, the Watermann family had the washhouse converted into a guest house. In October 1998, the Mooshütte was purchased by the Flügge family from Schmarrie, who had been interested in the building for some time and were in negotiations with the previous owner. They immediately set about renovating the property. On May 1, 1999, the Mooshütte opened its doors as a restaurant for day trippers and hikers. Since then, the Mooshütte has once again enjoyed its traditionally lively popularity. In the 2000s, further extensive renovations took place. There were new extensions and further redesigns.

Nice bench with a great view

The Calenberger Land is a historical landscape that included Neustadt am Rübenberge, Hanover and Hameln. Today the name is mostly used as a regional name for the much smaller southwest of the Hanover region, where Calenberg Castle is located. It is separated to the east and north by the Leine and Mittelland Canal and bounded to the southwest by the Deister and to the south by the Kleiner Deister, both of which are largely still part of it. The Calenberger Land region community association does not consist of all of these communities. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calenberger_Land
