Great corner to let off steam. Everything is on one level and many small paths wind through the forest in the corner.

In the Mascheroder- and Rautheimer Holz nature reserve there are many craters that were caused by bombings in the Second World War. In 1944, a large number of air raids on the Braunschweig district took place. The craters probably date from this period.
