    Hiking

    The legendary Gessel gold find, a gold treasure weighing 1.7 kilograms, has lain undisturbed in the ground between Syke and Gessel for around 3,300 years. It was only found in April 2011 during the construction of the northern European natural gas pipeline NEL. A reminder of the find has been set up near the tower, a piece of pipe 1.42 meters in diameter, as used in the construction of the natural gas pipeline.

    The Hohen Berg commemorates the legendary Gessel gold find, which was discovered nearby during the construction of a pipeline. The gold hoard is presented very vividly in the Syke District Museum.
