Τα 6 καλύτερα σπήλαια Ronnenberg

The Bärenhöhle forest inn is idyllically situated in the Deister hills near Egestorf (Barsinghausen) and is a popular destination for hikers and day-trippers. Surrounded by ancient beech trees, it offers a cozy atmosphere with a rustic dining room, a conservatory, and a large beer garden nestled in the greenery. The kitchen combines regional and seasonal dishes – from game and asparagus specialties to the popular schnitzel day. Breakfast is served in the mornings, and on weekends a generous buffet featuring regional products and homemade jams is offered. Thanks to its proximity to the Egestorf S-Bahn station, the Bärenhöhle is easily accessible and perfect for a break after a hike. Whether for a family outing, a celebration, or a casual get-together – here, good food meets genuine Deister idyll.

a piece of mining history with a very informative panel in front of the tunnel

The information board is very well done and provides you with some information about the tunnel here and the coal mining in the Deister. On the other side of the path you can walk a bit along the spoil heap. The stream that carries the water from the old tunnel also runs along there.

Unfortunately, driving is forbidden because it is not a trail

The ice cellar under the Lindener Berg - freshly brewed beer was stored here until the 1930s. During World War II it offered protection against air raids. Today it is privately owned and can only be visited with a guide.

Coal was dug in the Mögebier tunnel. The mouth hole is still visible today and the studs are being restored today www.moegebierstollen.de/?link=home

On November 20, 1919, the Friedrichshall potash works acquired the mining rights at the Upper and Lower Deistersollen and began operations in the same year. A railway was built from the lower Deister gallery to the Wennigser Waldkater. Since the funding was too low, Friedrichshall also acquired the rights to the Egestorffsche pits at thelee brink in order to develop the mining area between the two mines. Since it was uneconomical, the entire operation was shut down in September 1924. From the Wennigser miner Heinrich Nonnenkamp, called "Mögebier", the vernacular transferred the nickname to the Lower Deisterstollen and made it the "Mögebierstollen". The tunnel, which was excavated from 1874 with a door frame extension, reached a length of 225m. After the Friedrichshall period of operation from 1919-1924, the mouth hole quickly fell into disrepair, but the memory of the lower Deister tunnel, the "Mögebier tunnel" remained alive.
