Niederhaverbeck Village Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Niederhaverbeck lake offers a good contrast to the otherwise extensive nature of the nature reserve. Surrounded by coniferous and deciduous forest, it embeds itself idyllically into the landscape. Especially …

Wilseder Berg

Highlight • Viewpoint

A visit to the Wilseder Berg is part of every visit to the Lüneburg Heath. The ascent is not that difficult, but you will still be rewarded with a wonderful view. The Heidschnuckenweg also passes here.

Heidschnucken flock in the Lüneburg Heath

Highlight • Natural

With a bit of luck, you might see one of the herds of Heidschnucken that roam the heath with their shepherds. A piece of contemporary history, but also important for the preservation of the landscape.

Greetings, noble wanderers. Huh, did I just hear that right? A trio ambles past us, two in Adilette sandals, heading for the Totengrund. Well, let's go then, I already had a fitting response on the tip of my tongue for the noble Adilette-wearers, but being well-mannered as I am 😚 I grinned to myself and replied, in true North German …

🌲 From Wilsede through the heath: Totengrund nature experience & quiet alternative routes

With dreamlike weather and the best conditions, we went for the season opener in the Lüneburger Heide – a real highlight of the region!

The tour led us to one of Northern Germany's most impressive natural monuments: the Totengrund. Anyone who has stood on the edge of …

"Everything would be better if we walked more."
This quote by Johann Gottfried Seume is immortalized on the Old Milk Hall in the small heath village of Wilsede (Image 13). It certainly had a different meaning during his lifetime, but these words didn't completely leave me in the heath's "peak regions," where I encountered people who seemed to lack the …

I will definitely do the tour to the heather blossom again, I saw a lot of beautiful things in March, but it must look overwhelming at the time of flowering

With this glorious weather, I "had to" interrupt my journey home for a stroll through the heath.

For me, the Lüneburg Heath has its charm even in winter.

The landscape is so varied, from dense forests to wide heathlands and hills like the Wilseder Berg, with its viewpoints.

It was wonderful; even the foggy drive back couldn't dampen my spirits.

I didn't walk the Steingrund trail from Totengrund.
It's supposed to be beautiful, so I'd do it next time.

The heather blooms very, very beautifully in its beautiful landscape. A great tour. You should start very early, because the bear is raging around noon 😉 We were back at the parking lot in time for noon and decided that we would build a north path on our return journey. Kuhbach-Oste was our goal ...

Picture book landscape is the apt term for what is offered on this hike - even without heather blossom. The hike led from the Niderhavebeck car park over the far-reaching views of Wilseder Berg to the picturesque village of Wiselde with its thatched houses. Then we went to the Totengrund with its breathtaking view through forest and heathland back to …

My home, a detour to Heimbuch is recommended. Two forest houses in the middle of the forest. Here my mother grew up. From there you come to the forest experience center Ehrhorn and then back to the starting point.
