The Totengrund is not only a dream when the heather is in bloom. Even in spring, when nature awakens, the Totengrund is a worthwhile destination. Lovers particularly appreciate it in winter or when it is foggy, as this is when the mystical image appears. Just a landscape like a watercolor painting, almost unrealistic. That's why the Totengrund is one of the most photographed areas of the Lüneburg Heath.
Impressively striking juniper bushes and heather grow in the basin, which was probably created during the Ice Age and is located one kilometer south of Wilsede. The name “Totengrund” probably comes from the barren soil.
To protect the valuable heath landscape, the Totengrund itself is not allowed to be entered. You have a wonderful view from the lookout point. Several hiking trails lead around the Totengrund: for example to Wilsede, Oberhaverbeck, Niederhaverbeck or Behringen.

The Totengrund is certainly one of the most beautiful valleys in the Lüneburg Heath and also one of the best known. Around the valley leads a narrow path. Several benches always invite you to take a break.

A very nice vantage point with a view of the Totengrund. Some benches, as well as a forest that provides shade, invite you to linger

The Holzberg (132m) is directly opposite the "Totengrund" vantage point. It is highly recommended to walk around the Totengrund (the Heidetal) completely.

Best to visit from May to September to see beautiful colors and flowers.

Probably the best place to take a break on the Totengrund. Relatively quiet on the side because most of them walk along the west side.

I think it's fantastic because you can bypass tourist hotspots like Totengrund and Wilseder Berg here without giving up anything. Numerous benches invite you to take a break with a great view of the heather. This place will be built into tours again and again in the future!

A nature lover, this poet, no question. And: an environmentalist long before the eco-movement existed. His texts, written at the beginning of the 20th century, still sound modern, almost visionary today.
"The nature conservation movement must become a power. Such a power that industry, trade and transport have to reckon with it. In many cases, for their sake, nature has been sinned against in completely useless ways. And if we prevent it, such sins will continue "Today, perhaps we will reap scorn and ridicule. But posterity will thank us."
