    Tips

    December 5, 2020

    The Ampleber Kuhlen, once a ducal quarry, today an important geotope. Stones were broken here as early as the Middle Ages. These were used, among other things, for building projects in Braunschweig, at the high gate, the Petritor, Marienhospital and the Gewandhaus. Over time, an imposing canyon forest has emerged here.

        Simply enchanting in the snow.

          You should take the detour into the caves with you.

              Just the thing for a short walk.

                  Path 32 leads parallel to the Ampleber Kuhlen as a circular route around the Kuhlen. From here you can get another view of the ravine forest to one side. On the other side you have a view of the Reitlingstal in places. All in all a nice, albeit short, walk through a piece of beech forest.

                    Here it is well filled in the afternoon on the weekend.
                    Coming in the morning is highly recommended!

                          The city of Brunswick was independent at the time, far from being a "ducal quarry".
