    Hiking

    As part of the landscape protection area of the district of Lüneburg (LSG LG 00001), south of Westergellersen, the Gellerser Anfang forest area, which is managed by the Garlstorfer Wald monastery district forest ranger, is located in which there are historical boundary stones. The oldest of them were erected at the behest of George II (King of Great Britain and Ireland as well as German Elector of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (Hanover) from 1727 to 1760) to mark the border between manorial forest and farm forest in this, in the administrative area of the Winsen office the forest.

    Hiking

    In addition to a large Gellers forest area, there is also a weighty boundary stone with a lettered front facing the sandy path, the name "Gellerser Anfang".

    The unusual name is not to be explained in the sense of "beginning", but comes from "catch" (= to hunt) and accordingly refers to a hunting area.

    The letters G and R appear in large letters on the stone. This refers to George II, King of Great Britain and Elector of Hanover, who ruled from 1727 to 1760 and thus owned the forest.

    Hiking

    A trip to the old homeland is always worthwhile! 👍
    There are beautiful hiking trails around the beginning of Gellers and, if you can believe the locals, you can even see "wild" animals ... 😉
