    Hiking

    The Bröhn is about 405 m above sea level. NHN the highest mountain of the Deister.
    The coal mining industry at Deister has been an important industry around Deister for several centuries. Hard coal from the Lower Cretaceous (approx. 100 to 140 million years old) was mined and found in seams with a maximum thickness of 100 cm. Due to lack of economic efficiency, mining was discontinued in 1956 (Barsinghausen colliery) and 1960 (Strutzbergstollen).

    Hiking

    On the way to the water wheels, you pass the old overburden mountains of the coal mines. The mountains are ideal for climbing and playing.
