Geocaching
… can best be described as a kind of modern scavenger hunt. In short: There are people who hide cans full of small nice things and a log book somewhere and publish the hiding place in the form of coordinates on the Internet. Others read this, remember the coordinates and use their GPS device to find the treasures. Then a little something from the contents is exchanged, the visit is lied to and the can is hidden in the same place again – for the next one. There are dozens of these caches around Holzminden. If you wish, we can lend you a GPS device so that you too can become a treasure hunter.

Luggage transport

Historical
The half-timbered house was built around 1721 and has been in the family since 1756. There is a jug justice of the Duke of Brunswick from 1837, which irrevocably grants the right to operate a restaurant. The small window in the dining room is reminiscent of the duke of Brunswick’s debt collector, who collected the farmers’ taxes. We have been serving Allersheimer Urpils since the Allersheim brewery was founded in 1854.
