    After all, this location even has its own sign on the federal highway 188 between Burgdorf and Gifhorn, which runs about 1 km north! Then it must be great... well, as a cyclist you get off without further ado and should first look at the updated information board, actually the most interesting thing ;-)
    Unfortunately you can't see much, apart from a few boulders with ominous indentations. It is not even known when this desert was created.
    But still good enough for a few minute break ;-)

      The deserted village lies in the forest area of the Burgdorfer wood. From the former settlement in the area a circular elevation of about 50 meters in diameter is visible, which is intersected by a forest road. The elevation is surrounded by a small wall and partly by a depression in which once flowed a body of water. The place carries the historically traditional name Hehlen Kirchhof, which points to the former church building. Around the church lay the former buildings of the settlement, of which flat elevations are still visible in the area. In the wider area can be found in the forest earth walls, which might have been enclosures for livestock or nursery gardens.

      Today there is an information board inside the wall. On the floor are two larger boulders, which indicate with inscriptions on the location of the church there.

        An information board explains what the place was all about.
