July 19, 2026,Vielfältige Geest - Westerberg & Heeßeler Seenlandschaft 🥰🌦️🌧️🚶‍♀️

NABU Land Hadeln invited to a hike through the Heeßel lake landscape today. Thanks to the renaturation of an old sandpit area at Westerberg, you walk through a primeval forest area. There is much to discover along the three quarry lakes. Especially the highly endangered mountain snowdrop in the old sandpit gave cause for joy. 🥰
