Ein Pferd hängt im Baum

The Bückeberg is located right in the middle of the Schaumburg region and cannot be overlooked. For centuries, its economic importance also corresponded to this central geographical location: sandstones, coal, glass and forest were essential foundations of working life in Schaumburg. Today, the mountain with its woodland and diverse nature is an important local recreation area for excursionists, hikers and sportsmen. Stephan Walter has compiled all the remarkable aspects from the mountain's diverse history for this book: starting with the dinosaurs that left their traces in the Obernkirchen sandstone and ending with the Dutch rocket station that also became history after the end of the Cold War. This more than 700-page reader is an almost inexhaustible reference work - informative and entertaining.
