One of the most beautiful tours I've walked in a long time. Just great... and with today's weather, it was a dream. 😍

After a variant of the ✪ Heidschnuckenweg ✪ komoot.de/tour/1071993514?ref=wtd ✪ was explored with ✪ Fiete on ✪ Good Friday, we went again to the ✪ Lüneburg Heath today ✪ motherly accompanied. Through the ✪ Upper Lopautal.
However, anyone who now expects the characteristic and landscape-typical ✪ sandy paths through the ✪ heath areas is a bit wrong today.

August 15, 2021,NSG Lopautal und Lost Place: Ortschaft Lopau 👻

I wandered the outlines of Sylt a bit today, of course purely by chance :-)
Today we went to NSG Lopautal and that is really worth seeing: narrow paths above the Lopau, a great forest lake and, last but not least, the deserted village of Lopau. A very varied hike.
I started on the outskirts of Wulfsode. After a short …

October 8, 2023,🇩🇪 Lost Places Heide Dorf Lopau im NSG Lopautal

The Upper Lopautal is easy to reach from the ghost village of Lopau. The buildings are uninhabited, so the place exudes a bizarre desolation. Unfortunately all the buildings are locked or blocked off by a construction fence, but they are still morbidly beautiful :-). Apparently the place is always open on weekends or closed during the week.

October 24, 2023,Wanderung durch das Naturschutzgebiet Oberes Lopautal

The Upper Lopautal nature reserve, embedded in the Munster-Nord military training area, is a natural jewel that is home to sea eagles, black storks, kingfishers, black woodpeckers and others...

December 30, 2024,Höhenmeter gemacht bei Lopau😄😄

Today we did our last hike for this year in the north. It was really great, very interesting and mystical. The abandoned village of Lopau is now used by the military.
There are also paths and a few meters of elevation here.
So a hike that is absolutely recommended 👍👍
