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.

Ruins of the Klein-Kerstlingerode Manor

Highlight • Historical Site

The manor was probably inhabited until 1961. He then fell victim to the military use of the site. The ruins have meanwhile been secured again, but the walls are still falling into disrepair.

07/26/23: During a longer lunch break, a short walk through the city forest. Pure relaxation!

09/20/24: With the best weather, I decided to get on my bike and head up into the city forest, down to the Westerberg trails and back up to the Kerstlingsröder Feld. Entertaining tour.
👿👿👿A mess on the way: At the end of the eastern Westerberg forest edge trail, just before the junction with the Gösselgrund, there is a clear man-made …

08.02.25: Up into the city forest early again. Very similar tour to yesterday, but in bright sunshine. The ground was still frozen, so conditions were very good. Interesting: The hair ice near the old tank washing plant (komoot.com/de-de/tour/2043201624) has developed into its typical shape. The conditions for growth (light frost, high humidity, constant wind) were probably optimal. I think that …

So I didn't leave "Feiges Mäxchen" until midday, when the temperatures had climbed to spring-like zero degrees. 🌡


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

06/22/22: Before gardening in the morning, a short trip to the soothing coolness of the city forest and the Gösselgrund. The shady lush green forest is a treat!

March 23, 2025: After breakfast, we headed up into the city forest. Due to the severe drought, the trail was very well-ridden. Many patches were covered in early spring plants. If you look closely, you can see various biotopes, some of which are very close together. The blue-flowering anemones are particularly common on the eastern flanks and on the summits …
