On the way, we also stopped by the town of Wennigsen, where it makes sense to take a walk in the center. Found Das Zeitmonument Wennigsen (https://www.zeitmonument.de/ ), a unique stainless steel clock, which not only calculates a bunch of different parameters, but also shows the history of the development of astronomy and time determination from ancient times to the present day.

And walked around the monastery (Kloster Wennigsen), founded more than 800 years ago.
