Reward for looking after children - lemons from the Holy Land.
How did the Citronenberg get its flowery name? Legend has it that a family of fishermen once lived on the Citronenberg. One day, crusaders came along and left their sick girl in their care. When they returned from the Holy Land, they brought lemons with them as thanks for the fishermen taking care of the girl. This is how the lemons are said to have come to the fishermen and the Citronenberg got its name.

Old railway line - If you look closely, you can see a narrow rut here on the Citronenberg next to the path. It is reminiscent of a large-scale military maneuver: In 1892, the German Emperor had a 70 km long railway line laid from Uelzen to Celle with the help of 2,000 soldiers. He wanted to test how materials could be transported quickly to the front in the event of war. The Emperor himself wanted to travel the route - but he never came. The rails were dismantled again after a short time.
