Kerstlingeröder Field

Highlight • Natural

A former military training area from the time of the Iron Curtain, when Göttingen was still the location of the Bundeswehr. Since then, it has been a gem in the Göttingen city forest as a local recreation area.

09/20/24: With the best weather, I decided to get on my bike and head up into the city forest, down to the Westerberg trails and back up to the Kerstlingsröder Feld. Entertaining tour.
👿👿👿A mess on the way: At the end of the eastern Westerberg forest edge trail, just before the junction with the Gösselgrund, there is a clear man-made …

10/08/22: In the late afternoon after the rain again in the city forest. The trails are all still very easy to ride. Matching the sunset at the Sauberg. Unfortunately Komoot messes up the order of the photos again. Will try some fine tuning.

February 8, 2025,GÖ-Stadtw.: Kehr - Staneberg - Lengderburgberg - Gösselgrund - Westerberg - Gösselgrund - Kehr - Ostv.

08.02.25: Up into the city forest early again. Very similar tour to yesterday, but in bright sunshine. The ground was still frozen, so conditions were very good. Interesting: The hair ice near the old tank washing plant (komoot.com/de-de/tour/2043201624) has developed into its typical shape. The conditions for growth (light frost, high humidity, constant wind) were probably optimal. I think that …

March 23, 2025: After breakfast, we headed up into the city forest. Due to the severe drought, the trail was very well-ridden. Many patches were covered in early spring plants. If you look closely, you can see various biotopes, some of which are very close together. The blue-flowering anemones are particularly common on the eastern flanks and on the summits …
