Süntelbuchenallee Entrance
Highlight • Trail
At the beginning of the 20th century, the fountain gardener and dendrologist Carl Thon (1867–1955) began to grow seedlings from beechnuts of the so-called Tilly beech, which stood on the northeast edge of the Süntel near Bad Nenndorf until 1994. With these he planted the foundation for the avenue. The number of Süntelbuchen grew through root shoots and sinkers. Additional planting of new specimens led to a stock of almost 100 Süntel beeches.
Extensive measures for the renaturation of the Süntelbuchenallee were carried out in 2013. Various trees around the avenue were felled under the supervision of tree experts and in coordination with the monument protection authorities. A few dead Süntel beeches were also removed to give younger specimens enough space to grow.
In March and April 2015 there was vandalism on the Süntel beeches. At least two young trees were destroyed.
In January 2012, the New Year's lights took place for the first time in the Süntelbuchenallee. During this event, which lasts several days, the trees are illuminated and staged by light artists, and the performance is accompanied by a supporting program with various live bands and other events. The New Year's glow occurs every three years.

Süntel Beech Avenue in the spa park of Bad Nenndorf
Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument
Children stand in front of it in amazement, but adults are also enthusiastic about the crooked things: the Süntelbuchen-Allee in the spa park is something very special. This is a rare form of the European beech that was planted almost a hundred years ago and has been growing in a zigzag since then. The trees grow more in width than in height and rarely reach a height of more than 15 meters. The growth form is caused by a genetic defect, the cause of which is still unclear.
The vernacular calls the bizarre tree shapes "witchwood". The avenue has recently been renatured with great attention to detail and is around 500 meters long.
The name "Süntelbuche" comes from the occurrence in the Süntel, a small mountain
train around 15 km southwest of Bad Nenndorf. There were until the middle of the 19th century
there the largest beech forest in Europe - today there are still around 50 locations
old specimens or small groups of trees.
The Süntelbuchenallee is located in the spa gardens of Bad Nenndorf and is signposted within the park. Access to the park is free and open all year round.
The Kur- und Tourismusgesellschaft Bad Nenndorf offers botanical park tours for groups and individual guests.

, Victor von Podbielski, the planning of the connection between Park and
Deister added. The fountain gardener Carl Thon planted this with a ballpoint maple avenue (Acer platanoides, Globosum '). The avenue was named "Podbielskiweg" and is popularly known as the "Bubikopfallee".
The pond at the Erlengrund originated from the wasteland of the former mud reservoir and today is the green connection to the Deister mountain range. Reminded here
the Carl-Thon-way to his personality.
