    In the forest south of Loccum lies the historic Luccaburg, a little "hidden", off the wide forest path, in the idyllic valley of the Fulde river. To be more precise, the remains of a medieval tower hill castle, which can still be seen today as a mighty, round mound. During the archaeological excavation in 1914, among other things, a double-shell, two-meter-wide ring wall made of sandstone with a radius of 39 meters was uncovered. According to finds and written sources, the castle dates back to the 9th/10th century. Century and belonged to the Counts of Lucca. At the latest after the founding of the neighboring monastery of Loccum in 1163, it was probably no longer used. Today, the Luccaburg is a wonderful place of silence, as only a few cyclists and hikers get here via the narrow, sometimes slightly muddy trail. So you can sit relaxed on the bench and watch the cattle grazing in the pasture next door.
