With a height of 169.2 metres, the highest point of the Lüneburg Heath offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding heathland. Here you can let the sea of flowers wander to the horizon and even see Hamburg on the horizon on a clear day. A picnic after the steep ascent will also reward you with culinary delights in the midst of a purple splendour of flowers. It is not uncommon for you to encounter a peacefully grazing herd of heather sheep, which makes the idyllic picture perfect.

Wonderful green juniper, strong pines, purple heather and the small, sweet Heidschnucken make every visit to the Lüneburg Heath an unforgettable experience. Visit one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Germany and enjoy the unique nature on a hike, bike ride or carriage ride. With an area of 107,000 hectares, the Lüneburg Heath Nature Park is one of the largest and best known nature parks in all of Germany. As we find, the perfect place for a personal time-out from everyday stress in the midst of beautiful nature.

Extensive heathland areas, criss-crossed by hiking trails, offer you an idyllic hiking experience. During the heather blossom in August and September, the landscape is transformed into a sea of purple flowers. Meet the Heidschnucken sheep that gently tend the heathland and discover historical places full of stories. The untouched nature invites you to take a deep breath and enjoy the peace and quiet away from everyday life.
