Kerstlingeröder Field

Highlight • Natural

A former military training area from the time of the Iron Curtain, when Göttingen was still the location of the Bundeswehr. Since then, it has been a gem in the Göttingen city forest as a local recreation area.

On the way it got noticeably cooler again, so I was glad to have my "herbal glow" as provisions. 😁
