Discover Weyhausen

Weyhausen is shaped by a distinctive local history: in 1654, Duke Christian Ludwig of Lüneburg had a hunting lodge built at the crossroads. The lodge stood in Weyhausen in the 17th and 18th centuries. At the same crossroads, on the day of the Open Monument Day, Eugen Egner unveiled the “Synthetic Stag” memorial. It is intended to commemorate the ducal hunting lodge.

For those interested in culture, the appeal lies in the combination of a specific year of construction, a ducal patron and a later memorial. These are two interconnected periods: the lodge’s construction in 1654 and the later commemoration of the building. If you would like to include cultural history in your trip, Weyhausen offers more than a date: a named patron, a specific location and a memorial with a clear connection to the lodge.

Cycling and nature conservation along the Lutter

The Lutter cycle route follows two tours through the Lutter Nature Reserve in the Südheide Nature Park. The route description is from the first edition, published in 2010; check the official route page for current details before setting out. The route gives you a specific starting point if cycling and nature are among your travel interests.

The development of its species also makes the Lutter an area of natural interest. Following conservation measures, the population of the endangered freshwater pearl mussel in the Lutter has developed very positively. The renaturalisation of the river system has enabled rare animal and plant species such as the moor frog to return; the black stork, kingfisher and minnow are also once again found along the Lutter. The cycle route and the development of local species offer different perspectives: you can choose to explore the nature reserve by bike or learn about how species have fared following the measures.

Another place to explore in the wider destination of Eschede

In the wider destination of Eschede, a path leads through the Eschede Memorial. In the cherry garden, it runs alongside the trees and parallel to the railway tracks; it continues northwards to Eschede station. The Nature Park Information Centre is located at the station. The route description thus links the memorial to a clearly named landmark.

For those interested in horse riding, Horse Riding Tour 04 Eschede is approximately 35 km long. It leads from Eschede via Rebberlah, Burghorn and Habighorst and back to Eschede. Check the official route page for current details before setting out on your ride.

Markmann’s Toy Rooms in Eschede contain around 700 dolls, from tiny dolls for dollhouses to toddler dolls. Visits are possible by prior appointment only. The wider destination of Eschede therefore brings together different interests: a path through the memorial, a horse-riding tour and a doll collection with clear visiting conditions.

Travel interests and finding accommodation

If you are planning a family trip, you can decide together whether the memorial, wildlife and plant life, horse riding or the doll collection appeals to you most. This way, you can tailor your accommodation search to the experiences you would like to include in your trip.
