The pasture is located in the area of the Altwarmbüchener See and the surrounding green zones in Lahe. It primarily serves ecological landscape maintenance. Instead of using machines, the sheep keep the vegetation short and prevent the areas from becoming overgrown with bushes, which promotes biodiversity. For hikers and walkers, the pasture is a popular stopover and highlight in the Hannover region.

A large boulder marks the historical boundary between the villages of Lahe, Bothfeld, and Klein-Buchholz. It was erected in 2020 by local historian Gerhard Stoffert as a memorial to the village of Klein-Buchholz, which ceased to exist as an independent district following a 1979 Hanover city council resolution. The stone serves as a silent monument to the vanished district and a pleasant spot to pause and discover local history along the way. A report on the boulder's initial placement can be found here: https://www.haz.de/lokales/hannover/ein-denkmal-erinnert-jetzt-an-hannovers-verschwundenen-stadtteil-klein-buchholz-7OW7H7LUTOGKOKYPUMTOQAIRQA.html
