    Sand mining in the FingerTipp & Thumbgreen sand pit by the sand-lime brick plant in Bookholzberg dates back years.
    Then, with a social project, a thumbprint was modeled into the landscape.
    Since 2008, the Fuhrenkamp protection association from Ganderkesee has been keeping the sand pit free of wood, which is called de-cussing. This preserves an important habitat for insects. You can find out more at fuhrenkamp-schutzverein.de

      The sand pit is heavily overgrown again.
