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.

Historically really interesting

Named after the farm owner Giesecke. "It earned its name in the presence of a minister who was present to settle a dispute by approaching the minister from among those present and giving all the necessary information about the regulation. This resulted in the minister immediately agreeing to the proposals." The tunnel was opened in 1845 and operated until 1875. In 1864, 21,800 tonnes of coal were produced. A railway line was built from the tunnel entrance in 1860, which took the coal to Rehrbrinkstrasse. The line was in operation until 1896. Today, not much of this factory can be seen, but in the seating grotto you can meditate a little on the meaning of life, like the miners did back then.

The ice cellar under the Lindener Berg - freshly brewed beer was stored here until the 1930s. During World War II it offered protection against air raids. Today it is privately owned and can only be visited with a guide.

On November 20, 1919, the Friedrichshall potash works acquired the mining rights at the Upper and Lower Deistersollen and began operations in the same year. A railway was built from the lower Deister gallery to the Wennigser Waldkater. Since the funding was too low, Friedrichshall also acquired the rights to the Egestorffsche pits at thelee brink in order to develop the mining area between the two mines. Since it was uneconomical, the entire operation was shut down in September 1924. From the Wennigser miner Heinrich Nonnenkamp, called "Mögebier", the vernacular transferred the nickname to the Lower Deisterstollen and made it the "Mögebierstollen". The tunnel, which was excavated from 1874 with a door frame extension, reached a length of 225m. After the Friedrichshall period of operation from 1919-1924, the mouth hole quickly fell into disrepair, but the memory of the lower Deister tunnel, the "Mögebier tunnel" remained alive.
