As a landmark of Hedeper, an old windmill is situated to the west of the village ("Erdholländer Windmühle").

Instead, the new windwheels of the local windmill power plant surround Hedeper.

It now boasts a small, but active sportsclub, a shooting club, a Protestant congregation, and an auxiliary fire brigade.

Located in the southeast lies the "block mountain" (Klotzeberg), the first and smallest natural reserve of the administrative district.

In earlier times, many inhabitants earned their living as drivers during the hunts that took place in fall.
