I like Hildesheim and its environment consistently better. I have been to this area several times during Corona. For example, I visited the Hildesheimer Wald and the beautiful Tosmarkamm. This time we are about to walk along the river \u201eInnerste\u201c and the Giesener Teiche. We are especially surprised by the landscape around the nature reserve \u201eGiesener Teiche\u201c. Between the grassy hills it feels like being in the Scottish Highlands. <\/p>\n
Knocking on heaven’s door<\/strong> In the Highlands of Hildesheim<\/strong> From Osterberg to Ahnekamp<\/strong>
\nWe start our tour at the district Himmelsth\u00fcr. Despite the name we do not come across any cosmic creatures or angels. From the bus stop \u201eSalzwiese\u201c we walkt to the memorial park. From here we use a path until we reach the Innerste wedlands under the Mastberg. This part is really idyllic. We walk criss-cross through the Haseder Busch, partly along the Innerste, partly through the brushwood and come across a field with blooming snowflakes. On a bench, which stands in the sun, we take a break. I close my eyes and enjoy the warm sun beams on my face and forget about the world around me \u2013 at least for a couple of minutes.<\/p>\n
\nFrom the Haseder Busch we walkt to the next nature reserve, the Giesener Teiche. The more we dip into the area, the more we are fascinated by it. I did not expect anything special and I am thus surprised by the beauty. It feels like moving in the Scottish Highlands. Today\u2019s nature reserve used tob e a military training ground for German and British troops in the 1990ies. <\/p>\n
\nWe leave the Giesener Teiche and move on towards the Osterberg. From the top of the hill we enjoy a magnificent view onto Hildesheim and its environment. We follow the narrow and forested way and start our return to Himmelsth\u00fcr.<\/p>\n
