Above Steinmühle is the Mühlenberg with a refuge and a beautiful view. This is where the Senator Meyer Memorial, built in 1927, commemorates Senator Meyer from Hameln as the founder of passenger steam navigation on the Upper Weser. About 100 m from the stone mill in the direction of Holzminden there is a small cave in the rock. Water gushed out of it continuously until around 1950. The source called Hungerborn has now dried up.

TSV Pegestorf is one of the local clubs.
