About 30 km southwest of the state capital, Hanover, lies a green paradise: the Deister. Whether you hike up to the observation towers or cycle through the area, letting your gaze wander over the Calenberger Land or the Weserbergland—here you can escape the daily grind, rejuvenate body and soul in nature, and enjoy an active or relaxing outing. The Deister municipalities of Barsinghausen, Springe, and Wennigsen, as well as Rodenberg, Bad Münder, and Bad Nenndorf, invite you to visit.
