The "Alter Steinbruch Liekwegen" nature reserve encompasses a 22-hectare former sandstone quarry on the northern slope of the Bückeberge hills, owned by the district of Schaumburg. A nature trail has been established within the reserve. Visitors can learn about the importance of the quarry habitat and its biodiversity at two circular routes (1.7 km and 2.3 km long) and five information stations.

Definitely a highlight for children and dinosaur fans, the exhibitions change from time to time

I was amazed by this huge collection of beautiful boulders. All carefully placed. And then there's the great barbecue hut in the middle. Hats off to what the people here have created.

The forest area of the Loccum Monastery (approx. 650 ha) is located about ten kilometers west of Lake Steinhude and comprises six sub-areas (forest locations) of different sizes. The majority are located in Lower Saxony (Nienburg district), a smaller part belongs to North Rhine-Westphalia (Minden-Lübbecke district). The forest largely falls under the category of "historically old forest locations". Alternating forest landscapes and a well-developed, park-like path system make the monastery forest an experience for every visitor. Source: https://www.kloster-loccum.de/das-kloster/klosterforst

This is a really weird place. Dozens maybe hundreds of boulders lie around in the forest unasked. The plaque by the refuge sheds some light on the story.

The boulder forest is almost inconspicuous and mystical

Display boards provide information about the monastic pond economy.

The Klosterforst Sundern is a forest area south of the Loccum monastery. Several, mostly natural, forest paths or paths lead through it. In addition to a herd of cattle and the Luccaburg in the south, the water management of the Cistercians is particularly noteworthy and can still be experienced. The water of the Fulde was used in a clever way via ditches and dams. For example, there are water crossings at different heights to feed water reserves. For the monastery, the Cistercians sometimes even laid an underground sewage system, as well as different ditches to keep service water separate from waste water. The bridal pond and the baking pond are still preserved as large ponds. The Backteich is higher than the level of the parallel Fulde.
