The landscape in the Neuer Hagen nature reserve is unique. A nice open area with lots of views. In late summer the colorful Besenheide, in winter when there is snow it is a beautiful cross-country skiing area.

Hochheide Nature Reserve Neuer Hagen

Highlight • Natural

While this area was still a treeless tundra around 10,000 years ago, forests conquered large parts of the region with the subsequent warming. Only in some places has the tundra vegetation survived or been favored by grazing animals and the subsequent impoverishment of the soils. This is particularly evident and impressive in the moors and on some rocks at the highest elevations. There you will find the sparse dwarf forests amidst heathlands. Beautiful.
