Historic tri-border point of Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, and Lower Saxony

Highlight • Monument

Maybe a small contribution to enlightenment 😄: The square is called Dreiländereck, but there is no Dreiländereck here - and there wasn't one here either! Today the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse is located here, clearly marked with a historical boundary stone. The border triangle of North Rhine-Westphalia - Hesse - Lower Saxony is located on the opposite slope of the Weser near the Skywalk. Until a few decades ago (territory exchange between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony on the right side of the Weser), the border triangle was in the Weser. The error presumably stems from the triangular historical boundary stone. Then as now, however, this simply marks a corner of the border. At that time it was the Bishopric of Paderborn (cross) and the Landgraviate of Hesse (lion) that bordered one another here; today it is their successor states, North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse.

New Pond

Highlight • Lake

The New Pond is a raftsman's pond created in 1737, which complements the 1km distant Lakenteich that was created earlier. The Neue Teich is less idyllic than the Lakenteich, also due to its location directly on the L548 road, but there are still some nice spots and benches, especially on the south bank. The spacious parking lot directly at the pond makes it an ideal starting point for Solling tours, for example to the aforementioned Lakenteich.

Calcareous spring water flows downhill over moss and plant remains. Water evaporates and tiny lime particles settle on moss, plant remains and the subsoil and harden. This creates a very porous rock, "tuff stone". Over time, tuff stone has become known as "duck stone". The forest site and spring are now named after this name. 8 liters of water per second constantly bubble out of the spring. Endangered and protected moss species are native to the spring area. Because of the characteristics mentioned, the lime spring and its drainage area are designated as a natural monument. A shelter and tables and benches next to it invite you to rest and celebrate. https://www.moringen.de/stadt-moringen/wohnen-freizeit-tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/ducksteinquelle/

The river Ahle collects its spring water in an artificial spring pond before carrying it further south. Just when it reaches the age of majority (calculated in kilometers) it is allowed to feed the sweltering water before it pours another seven kilometers later into the Weser. The Ahle is of great importance for the water balance in Südsolling, because traditionally little rain falls here, and not only in the current dry year. The source of the Ahle, on the other hand, delivers a stable amount of water, so that the little river - "Ahle" means nothing more than "small river" - forms a constant element in the local water system.
