Hiking

The ponds, which were originally used for fish farming, date back to the time of the Cistercian monks in the nearby Riddagshausen monastery.

Mountain biking

The Buchhorst is an approximately 250 hectares large deciduous forest area in the east of Braunschweig, whose northern part belongs to the nature reserve Riddagshausen and whose southern part has been designated as a landscape conservation area since 1968. The separation into both parts takes place through the railway line Braunschweig-Magdeburg.
