A relic in the forest. In 1866, around 200 soldiers of the Royal Hanover Army holed up here after the Prussians had taken everything around. The camp was set up here to hide from the Prussian army. After Hanover surrendered, the soldiers surrendered and the camp was abandoned. The former deposit is preserved as far as possible and named as a place steeped in history.

Darlaten Island is a historic 19th-century defensive fortification located in the state forests near the "Grüner Jäger" (Green Hunter). It was originally used by Royal Hanoverian soldiers who hid there while fighting their way through to the main army in Göttingen. However, Hanover eventually became a province of Prussia, and the soldiers surrendered to their enemy.
Today, the fort consists of a small fieldstone wall and a circular ditch and is well preserved.
