Just a few years ago, state hunts were still held at the Springe Game Reserve. In this very place, where even Emperor Wilhelm II enjoyed going on the hunt, state premiers and diplomats would gather and count the day’s bag in the evening after the “Halali.” The dead game likely took less pleasure in the chase beforehand. The vast Saupark is surrounded on all sides by a high wall stretching for kilometers, leaving the game no chance of escaping.

From Springe via the KansteinwegIn the Leinebergland south of Springe, the ridges of the Kleiner Deister and the Osterwald can be crossed practically seamlessly one after the other. We can easily orient ourselves by following the marking of the Kansteinweg, which runs altogether from Hanover to Alfeld. The dense beech forests are characteristic. In the Kleiner Deister, the history as a royal hunting ground is an additional special feature (the 16-kilometer-long stone wall erected for this purpose is considered the longest monument in Lower Saxony), while in the neighboring Osterwald, mining had a tradition (coal as well as limestone and sandstone).

From Mehle to the Monasteries of Wülfinghausen and WittenburgThis Leinebergland hike west of Elze runs about half in the edge area of the Osterwald, where the Ahrensberg is crossed, and the second part then through the adjoining open fields, where two cultural highlights attract attention: the monastery churches of Wülfinghausen and Wittenburg. Both have existed since the Middle Ages (13th and 14th century respectively). However, the most charming spot on this tour is at the Weißen Stein, which the inattentive could easily miss. At the cliff edge, a great panorama opens up over the Leine lowlands to the Hildesheim Forest.

From the southern edge of the Deister, we hike to Finie with its former monastery church and on into the Leine Valley to Elze. An ancient estate and many beautiful views—sometimes from the valley up to the mountains, other times from the mountains down to the valley landscape—the Weser-Leine-Bergland has much to offer, and in this case, with only moderate inclines.
