Owl Tower, Göttingen

Highlight • Monument

In the past, the viewing platform actually provided a view of the city. From up here it was also possible to toboggan down to the street in winter. Now everything is overgrown. But maybe it will be again.

Gauss Stone – Survey Point on the Kleperberg

Highlight • Monument

This point is historically significant because it belongs to the "nucleus" of the Gaussian triangle network, which formed the basis of the Gauss-Krüger coordinate system as a Cartesian coordinate system.
This used to be the end of the Göttingen Planet Trail. Contrary to the monument protection requirements, the "Plutotafel" was attached to the measuring pedestal and had to be removed again.

Bismarck Tower, Göttingen

Highlight • Monument

The view from the Bismarkturm over Göttingen into the Leinetal is very beautiful. The Pluto station on the Göttingen Planet Trail is also here. The planetary path does not end here. The previous end is approx. 3 kilometers further in Diemarden am Mühlendamm. There is a stele there for some trans-Neptunian heavenly bodies.

Bismarck Tower Göttingen

Highlight • Monument

Huge and massive, built of stone, the tower is located very close to Göttingen. Depending on the route, reaching it can be strenuous. It's open until 6 pm on weekends and public holidays. It also looks beautiful at night when it's illuminated.

Wildlife enclosure and beer garden at the Kehr

Highlight • Structure

Easily accessible, nice space, nice people, sufficient range of drinks and small snacks. I like coming here. The game reserve begins right next door, but also the Hainberg observatory and the Bismarck tower are not far. Horse shows also take place here. This place is an absolute highlight for the whole of Göttingen, despite the inn that has long been closed. The small children's playground with carousel is long history.

Kehr Beer Garden

Highlight • Pub

Beautiful beer garden on the edge of the zoo. Next to it, the little ones can leave their pacifiers and hang them on the little tree.

Wild Boar Enclosure at Kehr

Highlight • Natural

Black coats are rarely seen in the wild, although they are the second most common species of hoofed game in Germany. They change their appearance and behavior in different seasons. This can be seen well here. There are also display boards on the enclosure.
