The best way to come in this region is use the Airport of Hannover and than go by car or motorbike to the Motorway Number 7,drive this motorway in southern direction and after an half Hour of driving you will find the Exit to Bockenem!!!
In these area you can walk or if you want visit the small villages around use your car or bike.

These litlle park called "Knochenpark" and its located at the street Am alten Friedhof in the near of a school.
And our local Alcoholics use these park as a meeting and drinking point all year long.
So be aware in these area. Sometimes they grumble the people who are walking around.

But if you have problems with these people, the local police station is just one minute away.
