From the 17th century on there were several coal mines, the last were abandoned in the 1950s. Today the Deister is a popular target for people of the Hanover area for walking and cycling. This recording was done in the beginning of April, the little stream later becomes the river Ihme, but the sound is far from being special. BP4025 microphone into Oade FR2le recorder.
