    The Bockelsberg and the surrounding area was founded on the initiative of Oberförster a.D. Hermann Busse and founded by him in 1887 Lüneburg beautification club designed and reforested.
    Many ponds were created. A fisherman managed 20 fish ponds. For him, the fisherman's house was built. Designed by architect Hermann Matthies, known for his native style, it was completed in 1894.

    One of the big ponds has several smaller islands in the middle. Ideal breeding ground for gray herons (in the trees), a pair of swans, Canada geese, ducks and whales.

    ... I love this place - especially early in the morning when you're alone there and there's mist over the ponds ...
