The Krause Buche stands not far from the parking lot. The gnarled, rather low beech with willow-like hanging branches and a gnarled trunk is something very special. It is the descendant of the original Krause Buche. Why does it grow so unusually? There is no solid evidence for this to this day. The growth form, by the way, has its own name: Süntelbuchen, named after the largest known population of this beech form in the Süntel near Hameln. This year's State Garden Show in Bad Nenndorf will also incorporate the famous Süntelbuchen avenue, which holds even wilder growth forms. Here, however, the Krause Buche is an absolute lone fighter and has thus been declared a natural monument.

Great building 18th-century ensemble. Worth a visit. The information boards and the interior give a good insight into the everyday life of a farming family from that time.
