A nice idea to draw attention to the piece of untouched nature.

An interesting landscape and path design

The Bubikopfallee connects the Kurpark with the Erlengrund. In the 19th century, under the tenure of the Prussian Minister of Agriculture, Victor von Podbielski, planning of the connecting route between Park and Deister began. The fountain gardener Carl Thon planted it with an avenue of spherical maple trees. The avenue bore the name "Podbielskiweg" and is popularly known as Bubikopfallee.

Beautiful avenue that leads directly to the Deister

A beautiful avenue between Bad Nenndorf and the Deister.

From the Devil's Bridge you then pass a wooden gate at a crossroads, located directly on the main forest path. This wooden gate is the window to the jungle and reveals a view of a piece of untouched forest. The idea is quite nicely done, even if the wooden gate isn't very spectacular. But at least you get some information about the Lower Saxony primeval forest. Source: https://www.breierblog.de/deister-wandern-bad-nenndorf-teufelsbruecke/

For decades, hikers who know the area have been amused by a sign on the cross beech tree that indicated the direction to the Hohenborstel district of Barsinghausen. In the course of renewing the signage in the Deister, the makers of the new wooden sign obviously felt a commitment to tradition.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the fountain gardener and dendrologist Carl Thon (1867–1955) began to grow seedlings from beech nuts of the so-called Tilly beech, which until 1994 stood on the north-eastern edge of the Süntel not far from Bad Nenndorf. He used these to plant the foundation for the avenue. The number of Süntel beech trees grew through root shoots and layering. Additional planting of new specimens led to a population of almost 100 Süntel beeches. In January 2012, the New Year's Lights took place for the first time in the Süntelbuchenallee. During this event lasting several days, the trees are illuminated and staged by light artists, and the performance is accompanied by a supporting program with various live bands and other events. The New Year's Lights take place every three years. Source and further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCntelbuchenallee
