The Bärenhöhle forest inn is idyllically situated in the Deister hills near Egestorf (Barsinghausen) and is a popular destination for hikers and day-trippers. Surrounded by ancient beech trees, it offers a cozy atmosphere with a rustic dining room, a conservatory, and a large beer garden nestled in the greenery. The kitchen combines regional and seasonal dishes – from game and asparagus specialties to the popular schnitzel day. Breakfast is served in the mornings, and on weekends a generous buffet featuring regional products and homemade jams is offered. Thanks to its proximity to the Egestorf S-Bahn station, the Bärenhöhle is easily accessible and perfect for a break after a hike. Whether for a family outing, a celebration, or a casual get-together – here, good food meets genuine Deister idyll.

Coral oolite (limestone from the Upper Jura) has been mined in the Süntel for decades. In 1992, explosives expert Hartmut Brepohl discovered a cave in a quarry near Langenfeld. It was named after the sinter chronologist Bodo Schillat, who discovered a stalactite cave in the Riesenberg near the same quarry in 1969.
