Wennigsen Waterwheels

Highlight • Structure

Really nice and lovingly designed. You can hear the clatter of the small blacksmith's hammers from far away. If you're travelling with children, it's definitely a must. :)

First Coal Mining Site at Am Bröhn

Highlight • Historical Site

The Bröhn is about 405 m above sea level. NHN the highest mountain of the Deister.
The coal mining industry at Deister has been an important industry around Deister for several centuries. Hard coal from the Lower Cretaceous (approx. 100 to 140 million years old) was mined and found in seams with a maximum thickness of 100 cm. Due to lack of economic efficiency, mining was discontinued in 1956 (Barsinghausen colliery) and 1960 (Strutzbergstollen).
