Diatomaceous earth was used to produce shock-resistant and portable dynamite from nitroglycerin, which explodes when shaken.

The Undeloh village pond (Hungerteich) used to be a natural phenomenon. Legend has it that something was not right in Undeloh. Undeloh means spring in the oak grove. The spring had healing properties. A fairy restored a girl's sight there. There is a display at the pond that looks like a book that describes the story.

Beautifully landscaped village pond with water lilies and reeds invites weary hikers to linger and relax on the benches. From there there are also several hiking trails that lead to the heath. Visually it is a beautiful place with the Hotel Restaurant Heiderose in the immediate vicinity, a feast for the eyes for the town of Undeloh.

The optical highlight of Undeloh. The hotel restaurant "Heiderose" right next to it is highly recommended. Nice outdoor pitches near the village pond. There is a bee hotel about 100 m away.
