The term Bockmerholz natural forest sounds out of touch. But this forest is completely different from commercial forests, which often have the character of plantations. There is no infrastructure other than a parking lot by the roadside.

There are just under 10 parking spaces, but it's a good starting point for walks in the Bockmerholz natural forest.

Unfortunately, the motorway is very close and noisy. The hike is not recommended in spring or after a rain shower. The high marl soil does not allow water to seep away properly and the ground therefore remains muddy for a long time.

Looks official with the Lower Saxony horse, but I couldn't find anything about it. Maybe someone knows what that means?

The forester Heinrich Ludwig Sabiel had the “Försterstein” memorial stone erected for himself in the 19th century. The inscription is partially legible.
