Fischbeker Heide viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

A popular place to take a break in summer, so it is usually relatively full. The only bench here is in great demand ... so bring a picnic blanket with you!

The tour is very well signposted. Just always follow the curved "h". Of course, the path to the hay blossom from August 8th to September 9th is particularly beautiful.

Today I went through the Fischbeker Heide with my mother-in-law. Since she didn't know the heathland yet (she comes from near Austria) we chose the Heideschleife as our route. It was a great tour 👍.

All information about the "Fischbeker Heide" heathland loop can be found under the following link: lueneburger-heide.de/natur/tour/22553/heideschleife-fischbeker-heide.html (as of April 28, 2024).

I still remember the first time I walked the Heath Loop in the Fischbek Heath with my son. It was our first "real" hike together. My son was still small and dependent on the stroller. I carried the stroller more along the trail than I pushed it. But I was happy to put up with the exertion. Even the stares …

Heideschleife Fischbeker Heide - on winding paths through the south of Hamburg (7.3 km)

Loosely based on: heidschnuckenweg.de/etappe/22553/heideschleife-fischbeker-heide.html

Nice tour "on the edge of civilization" with no possibility to stop off. Many dog handlers, the highlight is the wide view over the Fischbektal to the Elbe Valley.

March 31, 2025,Heideschleife "Fischbeker Heide"

The Heideschleife (Heath Loop) in Hamburg-Fischbek was the start of my (hiking) vacation today. After it poured down like crazy yesterday, I was very happy that the path was very dry...

But let's start from the beginning: Around lunchtime, I arrived near the Heideschleife on bus 250 [from Hamburg-Neugraben, just a few minutes' drive]. I reached it via an (unmarked) …

The weather used for the new Heideschleife through well-known areas. For the past 2 years I've seen more and more 'h' signs along the paths that are supposed to mark the new hiking trail on the Heidschnuckenweg and now it's finished. Arrows have now been added to most places and many new signposts have also been set up to give …

Ending the work week with a dog walk is the best way to start the weekend. But I didn't feel like walking the well-trodden paths in our forest. So we decided to drive to Fischbecker Heide and take in the beginning spectacle of colors in peace and quiet.
I had downloaded the track from the official Lüneburg Heath Tourist Board …

Today I went to the Fischbeker Heide with my son. The path wasn't always suitable for a stroller, but we love the challenge and still had a lot of fun 👶🧑✌💪.
