In Watzum, many historic buildings are well-preserved or have been restored. The local community is committed to preserving the character of the area and has installed informational plaques on over 20 buildings. This makes history come alive during a stroll. The Rübenburg (Beetroot Castle) and the manor house are particularly impressive. But the other houses and farmsteads also tell stories from a fascinating era when farmers invested their money in improving their homes. The sheer size of the barns reflects the bountiful harvests of that time.

But that there's much more to the colorful children's book hero with his jester's cap than just a harmless prankster can be discovered at the Till Eulenspiegel Museum. The new, large permanent exhibition addresses many questions one might have about Eulenspiegel – and challenges some assumptions. This allows visitors to form their own opinion of the various facets of the Eulenspiegel character. According to the book, Eulenspiegel was born around 1300 in Kneitlingen am Elm – which belongs to the present-day municipality of Elm-Asse. The stories of the medieval jester Till Eulenspiegel have been circulating in printed form for 500 years. The Eulenspiegel book was a bestseller from the very beginning and was quickly translated into many languages. This literary figure, equally popular with young and old, has been known throughout the world since the 16th century and has thus become a wonderful ambassador for the region.

In Schliestedt, there is a statue of Till Eulenspiegel. It is located in front of the Schliestedt Castle senior care facility. The statue depicts Till Eulenspiegel in a seated position with his thumb raised. It is a local monument, unlike the more famous statues in Schöppenstedt (where the Till Eulenspiegel Museum is located) or Mölln (his alleged place of death). The figure is frequently maintained and, for example, was seen "freshly painted and in a new outfit" in 2014.

Very nice view of the villages around Königslutter

A truly amazing highlight. A quick photo stop is worth it.
